Because I am still reading Jane Austen (five novels down, one to go!) and I am a fickle creature, I got tired of my old Jane Austen desktop that I made earlier this month and replaced it with a much simpler one.
As you might imagine, I hate a cluttered desktop, so I keep them relatively simple when I make them for myself. All elements here are public domain, so please download and use this if you like it and have a 1280 x 786 desktop.
And yay! I made it to the end of February!

So right now I’m reading Jane Austen, and you Austen fans know what that means — a senseless craving to own empire waist dresses, or at least look a pictures of them. (*cough* and Hugh Grant and Colin Firth *cough*)
I made this desktop from a picture of a woman from 1817 on Wikimedia Commons. Eighteen-seventeen is a little late for Austen, but it’s the only picture I found that I could really work with. I’m just sort of experimenting with styles on this one, so she looks all blown up and grainy on purpose. The quote is, of course, the famous first sentence of Pride and Prejudice.
Feel free to download and use this if you like it.

Today I was too busy to make my usual flash toy, so my “thing” is a screenshot of my desktop (which also serves the purpose of explaining why I was busy). Click the thumbnail below to enlarge- Oops! My image got deleted somehow. Oh well, wasn’t much to see anyway

Ok, so I was not feeling very creative today. However, I am excited about Valentine’s Day for some reason. And, I’m getting tired of my desktop. So I decided to combine these two things and make a simple heart desktop.
It seems that I am so artistically inept that I cannot draw a decent heart or photoshop one from scratch. So, I took a public domain drawing of a heart that I found and manipulated it for my devious ends.
Ta-da! If you like it, feel free to use it. My desktop res is also a little wonky, so you’ll probably want to manipulate it to fit your desktop, unless you too have 1280 x 786.
