Pride and Prejudice (1995) and Wives and Daughters icons

- 1-20 Wives and Daughters, submission for costume20in20 
- 21-40 Pride and Prejudice (1995), submission for austen20in20 

   

My submissions for this month's 20in20 competitions! I've recently rewatched Pride and Prejudice (1995) after a reread of the book. I think it was over 5 years since I last watched P&P and during this watch I was struck again with how wonderful Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth portrayed Lizzy and Darcy. So, these icons are a celebration of that fact!

What to say about Wives and Daughters. I've always loved the story about love at last sight. Molly is such a symphatetic heroine and I love the fact that Roger is a scientist , because I'm a scientist myself. The 19th century was such an exciting time in the natural science and Wives and Daughters plays against the backdrop of that.

Your icons are so pretty and bright! I'm taking some of the W&D ones (too few of those around) - will credit! :)

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Thank you so much! I agree, there should be more W&D icon love!

[lilylynnicons.livejournal.com]

These are lovely! I love p&p and agree that Jen and Colin did fantastic jobs! :)
I love your ac and emotions! Well done!

Thank you so much for your lovely comment!

They're beautiful! You do such nice work.

Are you ready for me to go ahead and send you the Dickensblog requests? There weren't a lot of requests for specific scenes or shots, so you're going to have some leeway. :-) Let me know.

Hi, thanks for the compliment!

Yep, I'm ready to start at the Dickens icons. There's just one tiny problem: I've never seen or read David Copperfield.... Which will make icon-making for that couple a little difficult. But, I've got a copy lying in my DVD-drawer, so I'll start on the LD and OMF icons and then try to watch David Copperfield as soon as possible!

Here's the link that has everyone's thoughts and requests.

Nina is our biggest "David Copperfield" fan. You'll see that she has a link here to lots of DC pictures (from the Hallmark version, which is her preferred version). If you need some more help/ideas/images from her, I'll give you her contact info.

Again, it's 20 Arthur/Amy, 10 John/Bella, and 5 David/Agnes. Thanks very much!

Oh, and here's one request from me (because I just realized I didn't submit any of my own :-) ): I like your P&P Artist's Choice #3, with the letter-writing and reading going on. An Arthur and Amy one like that would be nice, from the part where they were writing letters to each other. Thanks again!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Yes, I'd already read that thread. Maybe I should comment there myself and more people will request things.

Please feel free if you'd like to! :-)

Beautiful icons as ever - impossible to pick a favourite.

I haven't watched Pride and Prejudice in years and haven't seen Wives and Daughters for months either. Bumper rewatch session in order I think :)

I really enjoyed Wives and Daughters. I think Roger is lovely and it always puzzled me that Osborne was supposed to be more intelligent and good looking, I didn't think he was at all! And Justine Waddell is so pretty and absolutely ideal in this role, such just a shame she's disappeared from our tvs.

However, the ending has always niggled at me a bit somehow. It's not so much that they went exploring together (that was an excellent idea as they both had an interest in science), but the lack of contact and emotional expression. Probably didn't help that they had to create an ending as Elizabeth Gaskell died before she finished writing the book.

Thanks for your compliment!

I know, Roger and Molly are not really a touchy couple are they... Have you read the book? There was actually not very much to write anymore when Gaskell died, maybe only a chapter or two. But still, you can feel it in the adaptation, I agree.

Lovely ^^

Thank you!

Wow these are so pretty! I haven`t seen the Wives and Daughters adaptation but I adore the lovely use of textures in many of them :D
Family and happy are my favourites in the P&P batch! So gorgeous!
Angry made me LOL!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Thanks so much!

You should really watch W&D!

Very nice--I've taken "headless", thanks!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Thank you! You're very welcome.

These are really lovely! I especially like head crushed, plus one 2 + 3 in the first set

and headwear, AC 2, 3, 4 and 5 in the second set :-)
