Virtual Bookish Collage Crafting!
Okay!! Our editor sent us this link to
Polyvore
a couple of weeks ago, and we were all, oh, cool, it's like Cher's computer in
Clueless
. And then we promptly forgot about it.
But the delightful T.Y. at the
Lit Connection
was inspired, and she created two book-themed character collages which we're totally envious of. The first is inspired by
the prom scene in Stephanie Meyer's
Twilight
, the second, which is our favorite, is inspired by
The Witch from Blackbird Pond
! Go look at them, NOW! She also made one for
a young Ernest Hemmingway
and
Sixteen Candles
!
And here is our collage, which we made in tribute to Jane Austen's first novel,
Sense & Sensibility
, which we are reading right now. We spoiled the plot for ourselves by watching the
Masterpiece Theatre
program last weekend. The 2-part series made us weep, and the book just breaks our heart over and over and over again! Elinor and Marianne! Painting and pianofortes! Tea in a country cottage! Suffering and emotional breakdowns! Hurrah! We are totally asking for it! We can't remember the last time we read a happy book. Without further ado:

Quite simply, and sensitively, I must say this is f-ing fabulous. I am glad your last name is spelled Steel because you are lovely and very much UNLIKE anyone named Steele, with an e.
