On the eighth day of Christmas....

[empty-mirrors.livejournal.com]

My day will come in at least two parts and are graphics heavy (apologies to the dial-up crowd).

First part --- Drabble-graphics! Is that a word? Even a hyphenated word? Well, it is now, `cause I just invented it. *g*

So without further ado, I present...

Wow! What a wonderful invention - I love these! Even if they make me shiver in sympathy. And how beautifully you have matched the graphics to the words, very clever.
Thanks so much for sharing these, something different every day, isn't there on this advent calendar?

What a marvellous idea! And beautifully done. You can really feel the present cold and the warmth to come. And the pictures suit the mood perfectly (especially fond of Doyle in his blanket *g*). I love these. Thank you!

Oh, these are lovely! The words, the sentiments, the art, the design, just...everything. Really beautifully done. I'm dead impressed. And killer last two lines in both! *g* Wow. I know I'm being a babbling idiot, but...they're so gorgeous--I keep scrolling back to look at them. (I wish I had them in print, on lovely, thick, hand-made paper.) Thank you!

No apologies needed for this dial-up user! Lovely, lyrical, atmospheric. Gorgeous images, very well matched to the text. Excellent!

Oh the pretty! Both words and illustrations. Soooooooooo nice. Mmmm.

Please feel free to drabble-graphic abundantly :)

This is fantastic! I'm not normally one for drabbles, but the graphics add so much life to them. I want more!

[bistokidsfan77.livejournal.com]

Ooooh, shivery and achingly beautiful. Makes you just want to snuggle down & wait for him to get home. Sigh. Nice. And, you've invented a genre! Go you!

These are gorgeous! I love the idea of illustrated drabbles--great idea! Thanks so much for these.

[agentxpndble.livejournal.com]

Those are really beautiful! Nice idea to illustrate them - It has more impact.

[myrebelcat.livejournal.com]

Oh, gorgeous! I love the way the words and the images fit together, and also the way you've made both the images echo each other's composition, to illustrate the shift in POV. Blue and green for their eyes, huh?

[metabolick.livejournal.com]

Utterly and completely gorgeous! Thank you. ::happy sigh::

These are very nice indeed. With photos like those, I definitely think you've hit on something!

[callistosh65.livejournal.com]

I think this could be the start of a whole new something beautiful here.*g* I'm usually not one for graphics, but I loved this idea of drabble and graphic together. Such an evocative combination, I really felt the cold and the promise of warmth.

Well done!

[alicambs.livejournal.com]

You've set the words and the pictures beautifully together. Very nicely done.

[hagsrus.livejournal.com]

Oh, lovely!

May I add them to the Proslib CD?

[shaw012145.livejournal.com]

This challenge just gets better and better. Beautifully done.

[kiwisue.livejournal.com]

Lovely combination of words and pictures. WWell done!

[przed.livejournal.com]

These are both completely beautiful. And what a genius concept. I think there needs to be more of these.

[izzie7.livejournal.com]

Exquisite! These are just achingly beautiful.
I agree with przed - more would be great!

[shooting2kill.livejournal.com]

Just when I thought I'd grown out of my inferiority complex.....These are very special - thank you for sharing!

[andreathelion.livejournal.com]

Just beautiful ..... *sigh* Thank you :)

[probodie.livejournal.com]

Wow, stunningly gorgeous. What an invention!! So very sweet too.

DRABBLE GRAPHICS

[(Anonymous)]

I love drabbles. These are particularly good. Adding graphics really enhances the effect of the words. I do love that particular picture of Bodie at his most beautiful (where he is watching the singer in the pub).

Still learning LJ

Great idea. Would make lovely cards. Nice drabbles especially to someone looking out on snow from somewhere warm.
