Ack! I haven't seen it yet, so I'm not trying to endorse anything I haven't seen. These were for icontests, which means the theme was predetermined and not influenced by me. ;-) I'll rent BJ when it comes out on Netflix, but even if I do end up hating it, the costumes sure are pretty. ;-P

Nice job Lauren!

Thank you, Maureen!

I simply must say, I love your icon, the colors especially. Rossetti?

[identity profile] un-titled-love.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 05:20 am (UTC)(link)
These are fantastic. I'm taking number 5, and I will definitely credit you! ♥

!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm like Macduff. NO WORDS.

:-D LOL!! I was wondering what you'd think of the Vermeer. ;-P I've been absolutely dying to show them to you, but that's against the contest rules until the voting's over! ;-P Vermeer is so much fun!

[identity profile] anli.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 06:57 am (UTC)(link)
these are so beautiful!

Thank you!

[identity profile] nehelenia78.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 07:04 am (UTC)(link)
Great work, dear! I snagged 3, 14 and 21!

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:39 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much! (and may I say, I've always enjoyed your website) :-)

[identity profile] gentle-dream.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 07:47 am (UTC)(link)
Being Dutch myself, I loved 1 and 3 so I took them, thank you!

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Are you really! I have a bit of Dutch blood in me as well. ;-) Maybe that's why I've always liked Vermeer so much? lol.

[identity profile] psychie.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:40 am (UTC)(link)
These are smashing! Especially the Regency and Tudor ones!!

Did you watch Becoming Jane then? :D

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much!! :-D

No, actually, I have yet to see it. These were for a contest, so I didn't choose the theme. ;-) I'll Netflix BJ when it comes out.

I loved them all but just took number 21 - and will of course credit!

Fun! As green is a great and glorious color, I had to take #019 and #020 :-) For use when I get around to making my green regency dress ;-)

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:45 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you. Green is my favourite color! And hoorah for green Regency dresses. :-)

I *love* #23, and I haven't even seen Becoming Jane. It's just a lovely, calming icon.

*snags*
:P

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:53 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you very much!

Love 14 and 15!!! Snagged those two.
Oh and by the way, I'm seeing your new layout for the first time and may I just say that I LOVE, LOVE, LOOOOOOOOOVE it!!!
(I've been very busy as a working woman...UGH!!)

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Thank you, Lindy! And I'm glad you like the layout! :-D

(Have you? Is it terribly bad?)

[identity profile] mooie-ogen.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 09:42 pm (UTC)(link)
I love Johannes Vermeer!!! I could stare at Het Meisje met de Parel (girl with a pearl earring ;)) for hours! really, it's magical, you just stand there and you feel you can't withdraw your eyes from it!
btw, stunning new header! I loved the old one too, I know the Sound of Music by heart =)
Icon 19 is especially great...so is 16 =P

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 10:42 pm (UTC)(link)
Me too! I've liked his art before I really knew who he was.

Thank you very much! :-)

[identity profile] sabrinafair2.livejournal.com 2007-10-10 11:57 pm (UTC)(link)
Love the icons. BTW how did you like "Becoming Jane"?

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks! I haven't seen it yet -- these were for icontests, and I didn't choose the theme. ;-)

[identity profile] mrsmosley.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 02:36 am (UTC)(link)
I love them all (esp. the Vermeer and the Elizabeth icons) and I can't decide, so I'm just memorizing the whole post! Thank you for the beautiful work.

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-11 02:47 am (UTC)(link)
Thank you for the compliments! :-)

Thank you very much for your kind words! As for MySpace, I am not currently taking any requests, but you are more than welcome to use my work on your MySpace, with proper credit of course. ;-) I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you, but I have precious little spare time as of late. I hope you will understand.

Thanks for the comment!

Have you seen Becoming Jane?
Your thoughts? :)

[identity profile] olde-fashioned.livejournal.com 2007-10-12 08:22 pm (UTC)(link)
No, I haven't. I will Netflix it when it's released, though...

[identity profile] oldfashioned84.livejournal.com 2007-10-13 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
Absolutely beautiful as usual!
