First things first: I've at long last acquired the Edward Scissorhands DVD!!!!! *positively bouncing*

I'm giddy ^___^ I've just updated my SW slash rec post and examination revealed that this far I have recced:

( Total count plus the newest jewels )

Still in the fandom, I've taken a little time off from work-work-work to craft some icons. They're quite simple but I like them =]

Teasers:



( Four Anakin/Obi-Wan, four Ewan/Hayden )

In addition, I'm writing an Ani/Obi ficlet. It's cute this far, I hope I'll finish soon (though that doesn't seem very likely, what with exams and assignments and all that).

=]

I've finally taken the time to reshape Kaleidoscope :) I've tried to make navigation easier and to include some information I'd left out of the other website, such as graphic resources, ToU, etc. Clique-ty!!



It's now themed 'pineapples', I quite like the randomness of it ;) Oooh and on smileys, lookit, Caro, I learned how to make a pirate smiley P-) aw isn't he precious??

( the lastest on me: films, books, RL and other nonsense )

It's also worth pointing out that razzleslash hasn't abandoned Grounded, one of my favourite Viggorli WiPs, with its gripping AU fashioned a la Brave New World (curious? Chapters 1-13 and Chapter 14). That chapters 17 and 18 have just been added to SW Ani/Obi AU fic Division of Forces, which I'm madly in love with. That afra_schatz has written the most tender, goofy-grin-inducing Bean/Orli fic ever, Not a Bloody Thing. *huggles* And WELCOME BACK, justinetre!! *squishes*

What I'm really-really posting to share, though, are the long-promised Paul Bettany icons. I should dedicate this post for no_me_toques and dormida; they are two brilliant writers who said they'd stalk my lj for Bettany icons, and omg, that was when I had the Ewan icons posted *blushes* Anyway, here they are!

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the thirty-one Paul Bettany icons to IJ.

Looking at them, I've realised they've come off somewhat... well, they're quite simple and clean. Also, that I quite like them this way, even though I've got some ideas for more fancy designing... heh, we'll see ;] sofiaaifos has posted some very yummy Peter-Peter Colt/Dieter Prohl bases over at peter_dieter (Wimbledon slash), so there may be more Paul-flavoured icons coming. =]

I'm crossing my fingers for you, killthwight!!! *huggles*

Hi *hugs*

I've just come from a fabulous extended weekend plus one class-less Monday. *super happy* dead_pen came from Bauru. ^_____^ I've stayed over at her home from Wednesday evening to Saturday morning *squishes*, during which we've talked, talked, talked, drawn (she conviced me to and I made the first ever Nightwing I found acceptable) and watched SW III together. Mostly we annoyed the people sitting next to us with a. squealing at Hayden and Ewan and b. she was explaining details and bits of the storyline to very ignorant me. We also started building her an on-line portfolio and among other things she drew this cuuuute, i-Pod-ish Jin Kazama. *luffs*

( On the genesis of this post, and a few considerations on Keanu Reeves )

Thinking about the matter while scanning the net for pictures, I realised that what I love about Keanu are his hands, his voice and his eyes. Since he poked my aesthetical sense, thought I should make icons!

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the twenty-four Keanu Reeves icons to IJ.

Also, recently afra_schatz posted some lovely Orli bases. I'd already fallen in love with him all over again during my visit to killthwight (I'm still gushing over that pic, dear!), and that post gave me ideas... and ideas became icons... *grins* Because him and Keanu are my two favourite inexpressive handsome men. I hope you like these!

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the twenty-two Orlando Bloom icons to IJ.

On a different note, so it is that I've gotten myself into yet another cute little slashy pairing (and a new fandom too).

( SW_slash. Because. It cannot be avoided )

...in Keanu's words... "wow". *giggles with killthwight* This post is long. But I hadn't posted in ages, so it's ok? *hopes*

...I don't even like blondes that much.

Draco: *scowls*

-_-;; Anyhow... I thought I should keep you informed about the latest additions to Kaleidoscope *grins*

EDIT Now that I'm cross-posting to comms, better add in the Terms of Use: Like my icons? They're free for taking! Just please drop a comment telling me which icon you'll snag, and please do credit lorielen in the keywords. Thank you.

Firstly, the famous batch of Brad Pitt icons I made, erm, three weeks ago? *blushes*

EDIT - teasers:



A small explanation is needed for these. It's not like I haven't worked with the man before - I'm very familiar with his talent. This time, however, I sought pictures taken for magazines, advertisements or photoshoots, so as not to deal with Pitt in-character but rather with what experient and skilled photographers can make of his beauty. Brad isn't the popular angel-faced; even though he is blond, baby-blue-eyed, pouty-lipped etc etc, there's a definitely manly quality in him. He is incredibly expressive and can incorporate sofistication like few others, it was a real delight staring at pictures of him until they screamed something. =]

(25/out/07)EDIT: because I no longer trust LJ with my material, I've moved the twenty Brad Pitt icons to IJ.

Recently, there has been much posting of Peta Wilson pictures at lfn_fans. I've taken the oportunity and my liking for Peta to search the web for fine pitures of her - same as Brad, I preferred non-acting pictures. Here's the result...

EDIT - teasers:



Peta has a very peculiar beauty. She's almost masculine in many ways, and quite a few photographers seem to have noticed/enjoyed that; some of the poses they have her strike... Might be something to do with her voice too, she's a deep-voiced lady who exhaless bossy-ness. She started her carreer as a model but doesn't do bad at acting. She has a really picture-esque figure, especially for Vogue, Vanity Fair and other magazines of the kind. Au natural she is sometimes quite goofy, but when properly directed, she can be so beautiful. Here's hope these icons and the picspam I'm planning will add to the Peta-loving among my friends ;]

I guess this is it from me, for today. *winks*

I need to thank

- killthwight for her latest package, which included a copy of Pride and Prejudice. There's no saying how much I'm dearly loving the book. Thank you so very very much, darling!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel very flattered that you should share with me something so dear and special to you. Auden's style is fabulous, she says so much without actually writing too much and she's such a fine student of the human character. *sighs in glee*
- justinetre for her latest two packages, full of love and the most adorable presents *squishes* I've misplaced my digicam, but as soon as I find it I shall do a photo-session with your most recent gift. I love it to pieces and I can't stop beaming at it. You're too cute to be true.

*huggles lovely, lovely f-list!*
