Desktop Wallie: Stardust//Portfolio Post

I picked up an old copy of Stardust by Neil Gaiman at our local thrift store the other day. I'm a big fan of the movie, so I thought I'd give the book a try.

I don't recommend it, mainly because there were two very inappropriate parts at the beginning. It's quite sad, and nothing like the movie, and to be honest, I don't think I liked it that much. But because it was depressing, the ending stayed with me. So I made a wallpaper, dedicated to the last paragraph of the book.

They say that each night, when the duties of state permit, she climbs, on foot, and limps, alone, to the highest peak of the palace, where she stands for hour after hour, seeming not to notice the cold peak winds. She says nothing at all, but simply stares upward into the dark sky and watches, with sad eyes, the slow dance of the infinite stars.

On a happier and cheerier note, I finished another design today! (Er, almost finished. THANK YOU BLOGGER, now I don't know how to install signatures. I hope you're proud of yourself.)

Dia was lovely to work with, extremely understanding when I expressed (to my extreme frustration) that I was now unable to do a few things, thanks to the blogger changes. GRR. But all in all, I do like how her blog turned out, and I adore the writer-ly feel it has. Dia had some wonderful ideas!

Two Desktop Wallies

I made this a little while ago, it's main purpose being to experiment with the Dodge/Burn tool.

I've been watching S3 of Robin Hood. And was very annoyed at the fact that Guy died. I mean, seriously? Why did HE have to die? It's not like he had to go and be reunited with Marian or anything (although, if I had my way, he would). I'm feeling a little resentful towards the writers right now.

Also, I was in a bit of a bad mood when I was making this, which is why the whole theme is extremely...depressing. Basically, it's guy remembering moments with Marian. I liked how it turned out. Your thoughts?

After making such a gloomy wallie, I felt like making something cheerful. If you haven't heard already, you should know that I've been a bit obsessed with BBC's Lark Rise to Candleford. I recently finished it's last season, and was very pleased with the ending of my favourite pairing!

Alf and Minnie. So cute, so perfect together! I made it a sort of postal theme because Minnie works at the Post Office, and the whole show circulates around the Office. I did try to find a kissing picture, but Google Images is rather short on Alf and Minnie pictures!  :)

Enjoy! And tell me what you think!

Unfortunately, I am currently unable to put the HTML codes of the backrounds into tidy little boxes. Don't ask me why, but the codes refuse to cooperate. *sigh*
Sorry!

Also, I don't have 3 column backrounds available right this second, because I seem to have forgotten the proportions. ugh.
