Vigee Le Brun and Italian lady icons

[olde_fashioned]

34 icons: 22 of the artwork of Elizabeth Vigee Le Brun and 12 of some Vintage Italian lady coasters of mine. I think these are Vintage, but sadly the ones for March and December have been lost. :-( As for the Vigee Le Brun icons, I just couldn't get enough of her artwork! Some of the costumes depicted are vasilate between late-Georgian and Regency. I love her choice of colors!

Please credit and comment, right-click to see the name of the painting, and don't steal or hotlink. Enjoy!

I adore Elizabeth Vigee Le Brun and these are beautifully done. I'm saving a bunch for use over at my art journal art_lover. Will credit when used.

I'm taking 4 and 12. These are beautiful!

Have a pretty week!

These are beautiful Lauren! I'm taking 6, 12, 13, 15, 17, and 24, but I'd much rather take them all :D!

Gorgeous icons Lauren! Keep up the amazing work! *hugs* :) ♥ Tiffany

these are so wonderful; i like the cropping a lot :)
Thank you!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-P

Well! Seeing as you're the lady who gave me the link in the first place, how could I possibly refuse? (of course I will!) May I take your order, ma'am? ;-P

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I'm becoming a big fan as well, and thanks for the comment!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Hello yourself, Lindy! :-)

Thank you very much, and you too!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much, Jen! I'm glad you like them.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks, Tiff!!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much! I really had fun with this batch. :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I think all of them are, except for the portrait after Lavoisier's wife.

Oooh, tough question! I rather like both, but not many people are going to understand what a chemise a la reine is, so maybe 1780s fashions are better?

Unless you want one really really looooonnng banner, I can't fit all of those paintings. Would it be okay if I picked 5 or 6? (or you could tell me your favourites)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Seriously! There's at least 8 or 9 images there. I normally do 5 or 6 100x100 images on one banner. Would you like a double-row of images, or smaller sized pics, like 80x80?

Addictive? Who says we're addicted to anything? I just thought we were obsessed!! HAHA!

[lizarina21.livejournal.com]

These are gorgeous. =) Taking several, will credit! Do you mind if I friend your journal?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Okay! Will do. :-)

Why, no one! I don't know any obsessed people, do you? *peers at f-list and pauses* Nope! No fashion-fanatics to be found! ;-P

Oooh, I've a few that I like to get from the library, and some Dover handbooks on the shelf at home. I should type up a list for you later!

I love that book you linked, though!!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ah! Marie Antoinette, no?

It's not too late -- I haven't started it yet! I'm not that fast, silly!!

Thank you for the kind offer! I'll certainly let you know if I think of something. Thanks! :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

Not at all! :-)

[ejeanmay.livejournal.com]

Nice! Took #24...I love the detail there.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I love the jewelry she's wearing. The pearls almost remind me of the tiara Princess Diana used to wear.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL!!! Hey, who are we kidding? If I had the time and means, I'd *be* one of those costumers. ;-) In the mean time, I draw and dream!

Yes, and handy references, too. Masterpieces of Women's Costume is a good one, and they even have the patterns for you. Tom Tierney's paperdolls are fun for ideas... since he's not always 100% accurate.

By Norah Waugh? I think that's the one that I really love. Is that the one with all the sketches?

No! Yet another gem from you. Thank you! (like I need to waste more time making icons! Ack!)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Silken? Heck, what about the muslins and the linens and the reproduction cottons and the buttons and the ribbons and....

I've sketched some out of that. It's easier for me to sketch a sketch than to sketch a photo. :-)

ROTFLOL!!!! You're funny!

Hey!

Hi Lauren!
How are you! Sorry but this is the only way I could think of to contact you because I don't know if LJ has messaging and stuff!
Anway, I had a queston. How do you give credit to someone? Like if you take an icon of someone's and they say to credit.
Thanx!
~Rose~

Re: Hey!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Hey back!

I'm fine, thanks for asking! I think LJ does have a messaging feature called Jabber, but I don't know how to use it, so comments are just fine!

When you upload your icon (and I see you've already figured that part out -- nice icon BTW!!) you type <.lj user="user_name".> in the comment box, minus the periods but keeping the space between "lj" and "user". If you'd like me to take a screencap I'd be more than happy to!

Let me know if this helps you!
