Below are some notations that I made while I was retrofitting my site to conform with the prior character count limitation. I think they are still valuable:
If you're wondering about how many characters a sig has (here or elsewhere) just copy the code and paste it into this

June 22nd: I found out how to make gradcolor backgrounds on the embedded pages! The good part is that now you can see the graduated color... both on my site and before
you send the email!
Since I did a lot of reorganizing when I was doing the embedding, I may have moved a sig without changing the URL on the site. If you click on a sig and it says, "Page Not Found", PLEASE email me and let me know.
MANY Thanks!
The main artwork for the Earth Dragon sigs was done by Peter Pracownik (pronounced Pra-kov-nik), a Polish native who now lives in Glastonbury, England. I met him on one of my trips there (Did I mention that I've actually BEEN to Avalon?) and bought prints of several of his paintings. I was so pleased to find his Earth Dragon on the web, as it hangs over my altar at home. I hope to be able to make sigs of several of his paintings.
If you're ever in Glastonbury, keep an eye out for prints of his work in the shops in the High Street. I'm fairly sure The Goddess and The Green Man still carries them. And, if you're a friendly sort, you MAY actually meet him on the street, or in the pub at The George and Pilgrims Hotel,
as I once did.
Peter has a website where much of his art is displayed!

If you use the "Mists of Avalon" sig, be aware that the graphic is taken directly from the TNT website and is copyrighted. Therefore, please do not use it in conjunction with any "for profit" emails. If you do, you will be violating copyright laws. The same applies to the LEXX sig, the Lord of the Rings sigs, the DragonHeart sigs,
and the Sex and the City sigs.
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my online friends, Bev, Donna, and Marie Digen of Marie's Wicked-Kewl Sigs for introducing me to sigs, teaching me, and inspiring me to make my own. Marie, in particular, kept sending me so much FABULOUS artwork (including the Earth Dragon) that eventually I HAD to do something with them! And Bev has sent me DOZENS of graphics, too. Thanks, Ladies!
(See links below.)
I'd also like to thank Lisa Carrillo of Lisa's Place Sigs. The first sig I ever used was hers and I will always remember the inspiration she provided me. Thanks, Lisa!
SPECIAL thanks go to William of the Gnubee HTML discussion group for walking me through the setup of this page; MrsK, of the same group, for helping me with some of my sigs and teaching me to make animated names; and Gene (The PageGenie) for customizing the animated bar on the "Blue Faerie" sig for me. Gene also "stabilized" the animated tear for "The Eagle Cries" (see link to my Patriotic and Memorial Sigs, below), and MANY other projects. In addition, Gene seems to be providing ongoing tutelage for any wild ideas my mind comes up with!
Thanks William, MrsK, and Gene!

Below is my drop-box. It will take you to all the pages of Avalonian Sigs. If it doesn't work properly, please Reload. (See instructions above.) If you don't know how to Cut, Copy & Paste ... click HERE.
If any of the links in my drop-box don't work,
PLEASE email me and let me know.
The Spring and Summer Sabbats Page features sigs for Ostara, Beltane, Summer Solstice, and Lammas.
The Autumn Holidays and Sabbats Page contains sigs for Mabon & Samhain, in addition to Halloween & Thanksgiving. I am keeping the Autumn Holidays accessible year-round, since some of you may wish to use the witch sigs at times other than Halloween. You may easily do that by removing the Halloween banner at the top and replacing it with any of my other banners or bars.
The Winter Holidays Page contains holiday sigs for
Christmas to St. Patrick's Day.
Check out my Erotic Sigs Page! Well, they're not ALL erotic . . . some are just nude or semi-nude. But if you're not over 18 years old, DO NOT click on it!
All adults, WELCOME!
My Pin-Up Sigs Page begins with three sigs of Marilyn Monroe. The first of these are not very revealing, so the "Over 18" restriction is probably unnecessary. But they are beginning to get racier. ;-) The link is in my drop-box, below.
Signatures of Love & Loss~After I realized that I had a number of sigs that chronicle my love life of the past three years, I decided to create this page. Since I also lost my father in April of 2004, I decided to include the two sigs that are dedicated to him. Be aware that some of
the sigs are ADULT in nature.
To see that page, click here:
Holiday Banners! If you, or someone you know, makes their own holiday sigs, I've made a separate site of animated sparkly banners. So far, I have New Year's, Valentine's Day, St. Patrick's Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas/Yule. If you are making sigs for your own use, feel free to link to them. Otherwise, please
transload to your own web host.
I now have a page dedicated EXCLUSIVELY to Halloween and Samhain! I noticed that my Halloween sigs weren't being listed on "links" pages (probably because I had my Thanksgiving and Mabon sigs on the same page). Well, NOW I've created a page JUST for October 31st! You'll find it HERE
I've been informed that my drop-box isn't working for some of you. If it doesn't work, here are links to most of my pages:
I'll be adding a couple of new sigs each week, so check back often. And thanks for visiting!
Bright Blessings,
