icons: Cranford and Return to Cranford

[olde_fashioned]

Here is the final batch of Cranford, and my first attempt at making icons of Return to Cranford, all from promotional stills.

While of course most everyone and their mother (no joke!) loved Cranford, some disliked the sequel. I however found it to be an excellent follow-up that included some of Gaskell's original scenes that the first lacked (the humorous situations surrounding the "cage", for instance!), and the new editions were well done.

(Did anyone else notice Margaret's "train station dress" from N&S on the character of Erminia in several scenes?) ;-D Squee!

As always, never alter my graphics, comment, credit, and enjoy!

Teasers:



Please, if you take anything, be so kind as to take note of the numbers of the icon(s) you're saving, since I am always experimenting with my styles and I would like to know what people like best. (This helps me so I can make more!) The numbers are above the icons.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Mwahaha, I thought he might get some fangirl love. ;-P Thank you so much dear! And I'm glad you liked the text ones! They were really fun to make (I swear every expression Miss Pole makes is worthy of an icon, LOL!)

[areth-lovejoy.livejournal.com]

Yeah! Some "Cranford" love!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Heheh, nice to see a fan of Cranford! ;-)

[chloeandrudy.livejournal.com]

Sorry to interrupt here, but may I draw your attention to my post about turning my costume blog into a book? It has the logo you designed for me, Time Traveling in Costume. http://chloeandrudy.livejournal.com/258172.html

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I've just left you a comment! ;-)

Thank you very much for letting me know!

[elen-aini.livejournal.com]

i have just seen cranford! you read my mind! I'll take some of them, thank you

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Happy to be of service! ;-) Thanks for the comment.

Gorgeous icons! You've made so many beauties in so little time, do you happen to have a lot of free time on your hands?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Actually quite the contrary! The majority of what you see here was made slowly bit-by-bit over a lengthy period of time (and my previous Cranford batch is actually quite old -- many months).

I love Miss Mattie! I love Sophie & Dr. Harrison, a very good Christian couple in my opinion.
Can I friend you? I'm a Christian and really have no one to talk to about religion, costume dramas ( basically anything that makes my heart & soul happy).

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I love Miss Mattie!

Me too! ;-)

Sophie & Dr. Harrison, a very good Christian couple in my opinion.

Actually I disagree since both characters made a few remarks implying otherwise. ;-)

Can I friend you? I'm a Christian and really have no one to talk to about religion, costume dramas

You are more than welcome to friend me! And as for not having anyone to talk to, there are scores of communities here on LiveJournal dedicated to both topics!

Beautiful as always! I saved 10-12 and too many of the other to count!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much dear! :-D

[inishmaan.livejournal.com]

What a beautiful batch! I will be saving numbers 15, 19, 20, 48, 49, 50 (can I bribe you into making more Greg Wise icons?) and 60. As always, thanks for sharing, dear! :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! :-D You chose my favourite of Miss Galindo. And LOL re: Greg Wise -- he has aged rather well, hasn't he? Time is so much kinder to men than it is women!!

I would have made more of his character if I'd had any more promos left. ;-P

[tinebrella.livejournal.com]

Gorgeous! ♥
My favs: 14, 15, 18, 19, 28, 32, 40, 42, 47 (OMG, so creative!) and 60.
Great work!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the kind comment! :-D
