My first wall here at MT3 ^_^ Hello everyone! *waves*

I adore the time era of the Victorian/Gilded age in our history and I was moved when I saw this scan. So I wanted to incorporate it with a background of that time. "Gilded" was a term given by Mark Twain about the time period when many great fortunes were created and the way of life the wealth supported. My favorite place is that of Newport, Rhode Island which houses many famous Gilded mansions of the wealthy (and filmed great movies like the "Great Gatsby").
"The Marble House" is one of those mansions and which I chose my wall to be based on and so I like to give credit to the Preservation Society of Newport County. As for the scan, I found here at MT.

As for the wall, I have made it a while ago, but decided to finally submit it in. I had to fix the scan a bit to fit the wall. And I gave the entire wall a brownish/gold hue with some texture (graininess) to offer an antique-feel to the atmosphere.

So please enjoy! !
And thank you so much for your comments, tips, and any favs ^^

    OMG, it's so beautiful! I can't believe I almost miss this one just because of that stupid friend/watchlist system. I just love wallpapers with this romantic/antique feeling. However, I've seen few when the feeling is as vivid as in this one. Really, an awesome job. Goes to faves! And... I'll have to fix that list problem. So please, don't be mad if I switch you from one list to the other. I'm still clumsy with this new Minitokyo. See ya!

  19. Dani Nov 09, 2005

    I adore this! It has a nice sepia hue, that brings to mind old photographs without actually washing out the colors, and that dress! I love Victorian gowns.

  20. Michaela Nov 10, 2005

    I love it! I love walls with that old fationed look! awsome <3

  21. rgnk Nov 10, 2005

    very classic. quite different i must say... i mean from your usual style. it blends very well. at first glance, seems like a stock scan, but it is not. it is your wall. *thumbs up*
    just an opinion, the "fireflies" are a bit too noticeable and dont fit in this antique-feel wall.

  22. kawai-yume Banned Member Nov 10, 2005
