Another place to pick up stock icons for your web projects is at IconBuffet.com.
Created by Firewheel Design, IconBuffet has an interesting business model: they give away icons.
If you signup for their Free Delivery program, they’ll send a small set of icons to you every month for free. You can then swap icons with other members in their active forum community.
