Icontest Icons: Art, fashion plates, Regency and the 18th Century

[olde_fashioned]

A miscellaneous batch of art and fashion icons that I made for various icontests that I participate in. These are mainly from the Colonial, Regency, Napoleonic, eras, with a few other eras thrown in for good measure. As always, my icons are not bases, please credit/comment if taking, and enjoy!

Teasers:





PLEASE NOTE: Numbers are above, not below, the icons, and please tell me which icons you're taking, not "snagging a few!" because I really am of a curious nature and I'd like to know what's popular. ;-) Thanks!

Very lovely. I took 35 and will credit when used. Thanks! :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

My goodness you were fast!! ;-D

[watersaredeep.livejournal.com]

It's the only thing I'm gifted at. ;-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I doubt that. God gives each of us a talent, it's just harder for some of us to figure out what it is exactly. ;-)

[crumpeteer.livejournal.com]

Snagged the Lavoisier one.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[untasted.livejournal.com]

Wow, I really like 11-14. Particularly 11. Very pretty. (:

+Saving #28, thanks.

[elvishcalarilme.livejournal.com]

I'm taking 10, 15, 27, 28 and 31. Thank you!

[starwriterlv.livejournal.com]

Those are amazing.

I snagged 1, 10, 11, 13, 24, 27-29, & 31-33.

These are gorgeous, as usual!

I had to laugh when I saw #1, because the people that I'm housesitting for have an 18th/19th century military-themed formal living room (which is much more elegant than it sounds), and they have an oil of that exact painting. It's one of the first things I see when I come down the stairs every morning. So now, of course, I have to take the icon. =)

Also, can I ask what your sources are? There's a particular reproduction portrait of a British or French (can't tell which, exactly) officer that I cannot identify and it's driving me crazy. I'm trying to figure out where to look for the original.

Beautiful!
I took 2, 27, 28, and 33 :)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment!

[wildefan.livejournal.com]

Beautiful.

Took: 3, 7, 10, 27 and 28. Will credit when I use!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! I'm glad you like them. :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you, Rach! I didn't know you liked this kind of thing, but I'm glad you do. :-)

[cigarettes214.livejournal.com]

Lovely! Okay, wow, taking, 1,2, 27, 28. thanks! will credit!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

Ooooohhhh, I rather that idea!! 8-) It sounds very elegant, IMO. I wouldn't mind doing something similar, someday.

I use chiefly the Art Renewal Center (www.artrenewal.org) but since all of these icons were for icontests I didn't gather the original images myself.

If you could show me the image that you're looking for, I might be able to help you out. That's happened so many countless times to me, that I completely understand how frustrating it is!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

That's a beautiful icon btw. What is it from?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ah! I haven't seen it, but I should have guessed. Thank you.

[anli.livejournal.com]

I took 10, 19, and 22; not that i have room for them, but I just liked how they looked.
You should do some wallpapers! I'd love to see how you deal with a larger canvas.
