If you like the icon I used in my recent release of PyOXIDE, I'd be 
willing to donate the basic image to the cause (I've got her in a 
stand alone version without the staggered documents underneath - 
http://gandreas.dsl.visi.com:8000/IndyIcon.tif - note that the 
"black" is just the way that quicktime renders the transparent part 
of the tiff).

I've also got a couple of other poses of her, or I could see if she'd 
be willing to try to curl around a real apple (but being a snake, she 
isn't the most cooperative for staged poses).

And she is a real python, too..
