The response to this activity was nothing short of brilliant! Nine makers participated, and we ended up with over two hundred beautiful textures! \o/ O_O \o/

A lot of makers posted to their own comms and provided deviantArt download links this time. I've linked all of them, and the preview images go to deviantArt where possible.

I've also created a new tag for the comm called textures, so it's easier to find the results of our now four texture-making activities.
