olde_fashioned

At the suggestion of one of my friends, a batch of icons dedicated to innocent (and adorable!) babies and children. So many people regard them as a burden, a hindrance, something to be avoided at all costs, when in truth children are a blessing from God. Besides -- who can possibly resist such utter cuteness? ;-)

( part of you will live in me... )

Almost four dozen icons of one of my favourite subjects: 18th Century art and fashions. There are a large amount of John Singleton Copley icons, Allan Ramsay, with Gustave Jean Jacquet, a 19th century artist whose style is so similar that I decided to go ahead and include him, especially since his subjects seem to be clad in 18th century-esque garments. ;-)

Where possible, I've preserved the titles of the paintings in the URLs, except for Ramsay. Minimal again this time, because I felt it suited the portraits better. They're so lovely, they don't need any textures.

Thirty stock icons all with the theme of Autumn, because it's almost that time of year again, and I know someone who loves fall as much as I do. ;-) Hands down the most beautiful of the four seasons, I had a lot of fun scouting for images and working with such vibrant colors. :-) I also made up a coordinating wallpaper just because.

A batch of The Phantom of the Opera icontest entries for poto_stillness. All are from the movie with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler, and I've included two wallpapers as well because I just couldn't resist. ;-)

I've rounded up a few icons that I've been making on and off for a while now, all with the theme of Scotland. ;-) Scottish castles, scenery, thistles, and a few Scottish paintings, including the very famous Scotland Forever! by Elizabeth Thompson. I've also included love banners and a wallpaper for those of you who love Scotland as much as I do. :-) I've been really in a Scottish mood due to reading and watching Kidnapped, lol.

As ever, my icons are not bases, please credit/comment if taking, and enjoy!

( Scotland the Brave )

More North & South! ;-D There are a few more icontest entries, and again I was trying to make most of these look fairly "gritty", but there are some that aren't. Due to some delightful new textures I've been experimenting with those, as well. ;-)

( Reason? What kind of reason?! Mr. Thornton go down there this instant and face them like a man. )

A batch of The Phantom of the Opera icontest entries for poto_stillness. The vast majority are from the movie with Emmy Rossum and Gerard Butler, but there are a couple stage icons as well. :-)

( Flattering child you shall know me // see why in shadows I hide // look at your face in the mirror // I am there inside! )

A batch of icons from new artists that I recently stumbled across on the ARC. ;-) There are two from Thomas Eakins, and the rest are mostly John White Alexander. I love the feminine delicacy of these.

( A sense of beauty... )

In honour of Memorial Day and the countless men who have sacrificed their lives for our freedom.

Almost sixty icons of the various Civil War Regimental flags, as displayed in the opening sequence of Gods & Generals. (gee, imagine that -- I did a guy movie for a change!!) I iconed each and every one of the flags, and they are listed in the order that they are shown in the film. ;-)

( ''You'll thank me in the mornin'!'' )

36 icons of the so-wonderful-it-can-never-be-iconed-enough North & South. This time I've got a few icontest entries in there, as well as one of Higgins and Bessie. I was really going for a "grittier" look this time, since the story is so serious, and the setting rather "gritty" in itself. ;-) I love that about this story, how the world can be dark and ugly and scary but there still can be things as beautiful as love and friendship, as Christian values and moral people who still try to do the right thing.
