icons: Little Dorrit

[olde_fashioned]

Alright, so having missed this when it initially aired, I know I'm late to the party, but OH MY GOODNESS this was so good!!! The ending was really confusing (bad way to wrap up the big huge secret, ppl), but Arthur was such a sweetheart and Amy angelically good--she's definitely up there with the likes of Fanny Price and Book!Margaret Hale.

Gotta love the costumes and hairstyles on the more affluent women! Towering hairdos much? ;P

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.

I'm totally blown away and it would take too long to name all my fav. here ;) I only wanted to mention that I LOVE the way you worked with the neg. space and the dark& light elements. breathtaking. stunning batch :o

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Awww!! That's so very kind of you to say--I'm very glad you like them and thank you for taking the time to leave me a comment and a smile. ;D

I think I'm officially addicted to negative space, lol!

[angelic37.livejournal.com]

Wow. I'm in love with your icons, your compositions and colors are so lovely ♥

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :D

[the-grynne.livejournal.com]

Beautiful!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[litlover12.livejournal.com]

These are SO BEAUTIFUL! I love your use of color and shading, especially in #13-19 and #41-42. And 59 looks really cool too.

Arthur IS a sweetheart, isn't he? :-) He's always been one of my favorite fictional men.

By the way, if you're interested, I wrote out an explanation of the ending here: http://dickensblog.typepad.com/dickensblog/2009/04/the-clennam-family-secret-faqs.html

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! :D

I haven't read the book yet but he was really sweet in this!! A little like Roger Hamley in Wives & Daughters, lol, but we forgive them for being a bit BLIND. ;P

Wonderful! I've got it figured out now, but that sure would have been handy at the time!

[artekka.livejournal.com]

lovely!!

where'd you get the foresty backgrounds for the likes of 3 and 4?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

Those are actually smoke textures. ;)

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

YESSSSSSS you have to watch it!!!!!!!!

Can you tell I'm on a negative space kick? LOL! I love it so much and it's so fitting for so many things--especially minis like this.

Thank you Val! :D

[madelinemorland.livejournal.com]

You have such GORGEOUS icons!!
I especially love 23, 29, 30, 33, 34, 48, and 62! Also, I thought 35 and 59 were really cool and creative! I will credit! :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[lalaemma.livejournal.com]

gahh i love them all! i was so in love with this adaptation when it was on! gotta love matthew macfadyen :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL I really really enjoyed it when I finally got to watch it!

[lalaemma.livejournal.com]

:D snagging #024 and #060 xxx

[lalaemma.livejournal.com]

p.s. did you ever watch the BBC's adaptation of Bleak House in 2005??

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

YES!!!!!!!! It's amazing! In fact I've got a batch of BH icons in progress. >;)

[lalaemma.livejournal.com]

aaah brilliant!!! i'll definitely be snagging some of those. i'm only just watching it now, started it at the weekend but i'm addicted, even though its confusing the hell out of me! lol

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oooh it can definitely be confusing at times--you might want to watch it a second time once you know how it ends. You'll see way more "hints" and everything will piece together better, I promise, LOL!

It IS addicting, isn't it? It was so hard to wait a week when it originally aired for my fix!!!

[caspiandorrit.livejournal.com]

So many favorites! I'm so happy you've now seen it!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Hahaha, yes, me too! ;P Though I'm a bit sad I don't have another "grand epic" miniseries left to enjoy....hmm....

[voice-of-aslan.livejournal.com]

There are way too many beautiful ones here to name individually! The book Little Dorrit is one of my favourite novels (ever), and the mini-series was pretty good too. Of your icons, I especially like #10, the cropping on it is lovely. :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you!

I really enjoyed the series. I'll read most/all of Dickens eventually. ;)

[voice-of-aslan.livejournal.com]

Have fun! :D Dickens is a good novelist, although to be honest I don't think he's the best social commentator, especially on the Victorian era. But his characters are stories are excellent. =)

[rosa-cotton.livejournal.com]

Little Dorrit is my latest favorite period drama. And these icons are all breathtaking. I'll be taking a bunch in the future.

Thank you for sharing these!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, well since it's such a favourite of yours, I'm glad you like them so much! Thanks for the comment. :D

[tomycoffee.livejournal.com]

OMG! These are truly amazing! I adore what you do with all your darker ones, they are so beautiful!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you very much!!

[inishmaan.livejournal.com]

Snagging numbers 7 and 53, thanks for sharing! These two icons are so stunning, I actually bought the DVD and watched the mini-series so I could use them (I only use icons that appeal to me personally and for that I need to have watched a series.) :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Oh wow, seriously? That's quite a compliment--I'm truly flattered!! :D I'm very glad you like them and even more happy to have gotten you to watch the series. ;) How well did you like it, overall?
