Hi everyone,
 the responce to my request has been over whelming,I feel like
copying them all and turning them into wallpaper and putting them on a wall. They all show her in a diffrant way, I showed my hubby what you had done,and he was very impressed.Its like bringing the past back to life.
Thanks to everyone for your input. Belle  ;D

My apologies to Poll for inadvertently using the same border  :-[ :-[

I've also just read the story behind the pic, how sad and tragic.  :(

Just a quick one from me

I tried to keep it subtle to enhance her beauty more, not sure if I succeeded though  :-\

Cheers

These are wonderful ... I hope the thread goes on and on ... she looks great in all colours doesn't she  ;D

I'm going to add the one my OH did (hope that's OK ?) ... it was done very quickly to show me that colour isn't as scary as I imagine and does not necessarily take days to accomplish.

The complexion is a little florid and he's dyed her hair (probably with Henna !) but the dress is another good colour for her.

I'm wondering about her ring ... she's obviously showing it off but it's on her right hand, so not an engagement ring .... unless the photograph has been reversed ???

Might the ring have been a 21st birthday gift. That was the magic year to celebrate for our family members growing up then.
