Hi Wendy,

The work done above is fab. But just noticed that grandad's wedding flower on his lapel has been lost in your tidy-up - is there any way to put it back on?

So so sorry to be a pain.

Katie

PS. Here is a picture of his wife (my nanna), they made a lovely couple, don't you think? No picture in existence of them together though. Apparantly my nanna only ever had one of them both, but hated how she looked on it (thought it was a terrible 'angle' for her, lol), and can't remember what she did with it. Oh, some people....

And your version of great-grandad is really lovely.   Cheesy

Seeing as though the top of his head had fell off on the original, everyone has managed to put it back on so well! Successful surgery! LOL!  Grin Grin

Ha ha Poll, I know! Doh!  Cheesy

Love your versions of grandad, and what a fabulous job you've done on Nanna's portrait, all the lineyness gone! Her skin looks really great too, am jealous! Cleanse, tone, moisturise, airbrush... sounds good to me! Now how can I work that into my morning routine....? Grin

Thanks again

Very thoughtful of you Smiley
