Challenge #7 "Wordy Windows"

Sorry this is a little late, I've been away at a conference. Welcome to the seventh challenge: "Wordy Windows". For this challenge you must make text with an image inside it, that is, put an image inside your text.
Submissions are now closed!
Entries are now revealed!

Techniques:
- selection
- layers
- paths

Examples:
black sun
image text

Useful (GIMP) tutorials:
- basics
- layers
- http://www.gimptalk.com/forum/topic/3-Ways-To-Put-An-Image-In-Your-Text-163-1.html

Rules:
1. From one to four icons can be submitted.
2. You have two weeks to submit the icons; that is, they are due on Monday the 18th of February (that's my time, Australian time, so for some of you that will be the 17th).
3. Icons will be submitted in comments to this post. All comments will be screened, to preserve anonymity.
4. As soon as I can after the 18th, I will make a voting poll here. People will then have about three days to vote, because we don't really seem to need a week.
There will be two sections in the voting: (a) "Best embodiment of style"; this you vote for whichever icon you think demonstrates the style/technique of the given challenge (b) "I just like it"; where you vote for whichever icon you simply like the best.
5. You are required NOT to post your icons anywhere public until after the voting is over, so as to preserve the anonymity of the entries.
6. When the voting is over, I'll announce the winners here. Discussion of the challenge will be encouraged, especially discussion and demonstration of techniques used.

In short:
Due 18th February, post entries here, don't show them elsewhere.

If you know any good tutorials for this challenge, please post a link.

And please pimp this far and wide!
