When I was 12 years old, I read GWTW over and over for the next two years in one continuous, neverending loop, over 14 times in that period. I was obsessed with the book and movie. Well, I just read it over again, 30 years later - and I loved it just as much as ever, if not more. I had to make a small batch of icons, mostly of Scarlett - but I could scream! I can't find my GWTW DVD - it's lost! I'm devastated I can't find it, but it has to turn up, when I do find it, I'll make more of the mood type icons. I had already made some caps from before, but to tide me over, I have also used some caps by dj_capslock Enjoy! I also have two vintage type icons from It Happened One Night and Pride & Prejudice (1940). Please do not alter or add text to my textless icons, they are not bases.

Since I live in the land of The Sopranos, I felt it was about time I posted some icons, now that I'm finally catching up on the episodes leading up to the end of the series. All black and white, nothing fancy, really, but I wanted to make some just to test the waters and pay homage to Tony and Carm and the gang. Season 6 caps made by me. I also have icons from the movies 300, North & South, Pride & Prejudice both the 1995 version and the Utah one, The Princess Bride (Cary Elwes), more Richard Armitage, Gerry Butler and just some various icontest entries.

I have some other icons from various movies as well like North and South, Phantom of the Opera and 300. I also made two of Eric Bana as Hector in Troy.

My old favorite, the BBC P&P2, the thing that got me started with fandoms. A few of this bunch are some icons I made for my good friend, frasiem's P&P fanfiction web site Mrs. Darcy. In particular some Scottish themed ones used to showcase one of her new authoress' modern "Ae Fond Kiss." Check her site out if you haven't already, great reading (my own included - if you like the Beatles!) to be had there. I also have various challenge icons from Pirates, Narnia, Austen and a few various British actors - Ioan Gruffudd, Colin Firth, and Gerry Butler.

October 25th, 2006
I know it's been a while since I've posted, I've been busy with my new job and don't have as much time to make icons anymore, but at least I haven't stopped completely - nevah!I've got a cornucopia of icons this time, I've been saving them up. Mostly Austen based, because I recently saw Sense & Sensibility again and loved Alan Rickman in it. Also some of Emma, (both versions) and some P&P3. 10 Pirates, 6 Master & Commander, mostly of Pullings (I know a few people who are crazy about Mr. D'Arcy), I couldn't make up my mind, so some have borders, some don't, some have text, some don't. Also, I have 3 Outlander icons, from the books by Diana Gabaldon. I finally made a David Wenham icon of Jamie, he's another favorite for casting, and I chose Tom Hollander as Tom Christie, who is the actor I picture in A Breath of Snow and Ashes. I have them headed as all from that book, but the ones of Roger and Jamie can be from any of them. I've also got some Narnia icons as well, all from various challenges. I also have a challenge entry from The Libertine as well. Credit is wonderful, but not necessary. However, I would appreciate it if you would comment if you're going to take any, since I like to know how well they're received, and it helps me when I'm deciding what to make in future posts if I know what went over well. No hotlinking please. All caps are made by me, unless it was from a challenge. ETA: Oh boy - thank you I now have over 100 friends subscribing on my friends list!
