costumelims Round 1 entries

[olde_fashioned]

Fresh from Round 1, my entries for the Last Icon Maker Standing contest costumelims. ;-) A bunch of various costume-related themes are all featured in this post, including but not limited to Jane Austen quote icons, the movie Ever After, one each of Pride & Prejudice 2005, North & South, Lorna Doone, as well as a few duplicates because sometimes I made multiples before deciding which to enter. ;-)

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 gotta say--absolutely STUNNING :D !

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*blushes and beams alternately* Thank you m'dear! I thought there might be a couple in here that you'd like. ;-D

P.S. Saw a lady carrying a bookbag with Egyptian art at the library today. ;-D

[elysium-22.livejournal.com]

Your icons are so very beautiful!

My favorites are 005, 006, and 015.

I am taking those and crediting you for your wonderful work...Also, I would like to nominate a few of those in next month's award nominations @ costume_awards.

Thanks ♥

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You are so very kind. ;-)

Of course, and I'm quite flattered! Thank you again! :-D

[smashedpeaches.livejournal.com]

Love #7, 10 and 17. Pretty!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[visionsbeyond.livejournal.com]

Firstly CONGRATULATIONS on winning 2nd place at the costume_lims olde !!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Wow !
All the ever after icons especially #11 are gorgeous! Love the use of text in there!
I remember voting for #17 , 18 and 21 ! The JT icon is especially awesome with the whole angsty effect!
But my favourite of all is # 5 !!!!! Simple but such a beautiful icon of Mary and baby Jesus! I`m saving it and will use it one day!
You`ve had a great first round! :D

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

*blushes* Thank you m'dear! You're too sweet. :-D

I'm glad you like them! (and the b&w "angsty" style...because I've got a bunch of those coming up for a certain film we both love...lol)

[golly-loli.livejournal.com]

Lorna Doone always makes me think of those cookies. *sigh* My heart is in my tummy.
& I have to watch Ever After again. It's been too long.

Beautiful icons, by the way. I love the Dracula set...

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL! I like the Walker's shortbread cookies, with the old Scottish paintings of Bonnie Prince Charlie and Flora MacDonald on the tin...*SIGH*

Thank you for the comment!

[golly-loli.livejournal.com]

You're welcome for the comment
and just yesturday I was shopping at my local Walgreens and came across a box of Lorna Doone cookies, thought of this post, and started giggling like a fool. I'm sure people thought I was crazy or something. Anyway, I bought a box. Care to share?

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL! Why thank you! I don't mind if I do. *giggles and takes cookie daintily*

Would you care for some tea? ;-)

[golly-loli.livejournal.com]

Oooh! Why yes, please! I don't mind if I do!

(just had an awesome idea for a facebook profile picture: reading Lorna Doone while eating from a box of Lorna Doone cookies and sippin' from a cuppa tay)

[princessjune.livejournal.com]

I took number 6 & number 14! Will credit!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you! :-)

[filmowe.livejournal.com]

So pretty :D I'll be taking #12, because that's one of my favourite movies of all time and I heart this scene :) Thank you!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'm a late-comer to the Ever After fanboat, lol, but I think it's probably something I'm going to have to end up buying...if for no other reason than screecaps! ;-P It's just soooo pretttyyyyy....

[filmowe.livejournal.com]

Welcome on board ^^ This is such a charming movie, it never gets boring! Definitely worth buying :)

[winterlillies.livejournal.com]

You made such a great set of Dracula icons (really love #20)! The Ever After sets are just beautiful. =)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Aww, thank you! :-D

I really liked the textures you chose for the Dracula challenge; I kinda went hog wild playing with them, lol!

[elea24.livejournal.com]

*sigh* These are gorgeous!!!!! I love love love #6 (great framing and soft texture use), #11 (everything -- text, colouring, crop etc -- is amaaaaazing!), #16 (really interesting crop and texture use), #17 (fab texture use).

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you!!! *blushes* I'm delighted you like them so much, your own EA icons were so gorgeous! :-D

Jane Eyre and Rochester

[notwohearts.livejournal.com]

I love your icons and the like! I just found a Jane Eyre C.E. Brock and thought... "does anyone else swoon and sigh over this scene besides me?"

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[notwohearts.livejournal.com]

btw. I totally took your North and South icons to horde.

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[notwohearts.livejournal.com]

O sorry, but I was wondering how in the world did you get rid of the advertisement that graces the top of live journals. I can't find out how to get rid of it. Thanks.

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

I believe that comes with a paid account.

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[notwohearts.livejournal.com]

Thanks mucho. If I ever could manage photoshop, which is like a foreign language, I would so do it now. Bravo to your blessed ability! I'll try in the future!

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

LOL, glad you like. ;-)

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes....I love CE Brock! I've made a few icons from his Jane Austen illustrations, too. ;-)

Re: Jane Eyre and Rochester

[notwohearts.livejournal.com]

Ahh! There's one! lol :)

[sommertiara.livejournal.com]

I love 1 and all those quote icons, but all are of course great!
Congratulations so much with 2nd place, well done!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you very much for the sweet comment! :-D

Beautiful!

[sylwias.livejournal.com]

Snagging 1 and 23, but all of them are great!

BTW Have you seen my other comment? (http://olde-fashioned.livejournal.com/118860.html?thread=2760780#t2760780) In case the old link to the pic doesn't work any longer here's a new one. http://scotch-and-sirens.waw.pl/mosaicmiddle2.JPG

Waiting for your answer with caught breath.

Re: Beautiful!

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Sorry for the delay in getting back to you! My mailbox is a mess, lol, and I've been incredibly busy.

You can use what you've made, since you've already made it, but typically I prefer people don't alter my graphics any. If you credit the graphic as "made by (you) using olde_fashioned's icons" then that would be fine. :-)

Re: Beautiful!

[sylwias.livejournal.com]

Thanks a lot!

I credited here: Credits: Header, Icons and Smilies (http://scotch-and-sirens.waw.pl/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=4&p=11#p11), saying this:

50 Miles of Good Road's header is made by Sylwia using olde_fashioned's icons. All her icons are astoundingly beautiful. You can find more of them at her blog Olde Fashioned (http://olde-fashioned.livejournal.com/).

I'll also credit you every time anyone mentions the icons throughout the forum, as I expect people will, since they're all so beautiful.

Thanks once again. You've made my day!

[grain-de-beaute.livejournal.com]

They are so beautiful, thanks for sharing:)

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Merci, mon amie! :-D

[grain-de-beaute.livejournal.com]

Thanks again for your lovely French, it suits very well!
Je t'embrasse
Sandy

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Ah, I'm just glad I haven't said anything embarassing yet, LOL!

Hugs back to you, although I confess I had to look that one up. ;-P

[davendons-desk.livejournal.com]

aww I love Ever After! I will be snagging 10 and 12. Will credit of course :) thanks.

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Thank you for the comment!

[littleflower518.livejournal.com]

I like #2 and #5....What does it say on #2???

[olde-fashioned.livejournal.com]

Glad you like them! :-)

The writing on #2 is just a scribbly texture, I don't think it really says anything. ;-)

Have you ever seen Ever After? I bet it's something you would love, Lindy.

[abluestocking.livejournal.com]

Snagging #2!
