Hi All
As the board is a bit quiet, thought I'd repost this pic for colouring which I posted about 18 months ago. I got some stunning colourisations which I hasten to add I'm more than thrilled with, but there are a new batch of colourists out there at the moment and I'd like to see some more interpretations as I think you will agree with me when I say it's quite a beautiful pic.
Cheers
Caz
PS Anybody that's coloured this pic before are more than welcome to submit a second go...yes I know, I'm greedy!!! ;D ;D ;D
PPS Just for the dating gurus and information purposes, this pic was taken in 1903.

Oh, such sweet innocence... :) What a lovely pic.
Cheers,

I agree Poll! She is absolutely beautiful! You have some cracking photos Caz - nice to see you posting some of them!
-
Hi Caz
Hope I've done some justice to your photo
Hippy :D :D :D
-
I thought I'd like to give this one a try. shes exquisite!! thank you for showing us!

OKAY...how do i delete this pic...I put the wrong one up..lol.....this obviously is an unfinishes one!
-
heres the one I meant to post....sorry
Does anyone else have problems uploading pics....mine always tells me Ive previously loaded a pic and wont accept it again unless i change the file name? But I still dont have any joy!
-
what a gorgeous photo!
I guess I count as one of the new(ish) colourists ;D
Jenny
-
Jenny....Im very new...LOL
this is my first try. Ive never done any before this pic. I wish I could get the skin tone down better.
I dont think it matters what color we do her, she'll always look beautiful.
-
I think I'll do her in a nice lilac skin with red eyes . ;D ;D ;D
-
Hi Elizabeth - you are doing very well and I agree, this picture must be one of the easiest ones to colour.... she just suits anything you give her. I didn't do anything with her skin tone, it selected itself! then just a little pink to her cheeks, shadows and arm
ps I didn't even know how to restore photos let alone colour when Caz put this one up the first time round ;D
Jenny
don't you dare Jim!
-
I think I'll do her in a nice lilac skin with red eyes . ;D ;D ;D
sounds like my husband,,,lol

Caz... just found the original thread ;D ;D ;D

Hiya Hippy
My word you've done her justice...she looks even more adorable. Thank you very much, it's just wonderful. :-* :-* :-*
Hiya Elizabeth
Brilliant first go, absolutely brilliant. Thanks for taking the time, it's very much appreciated. :-* :-* :-*
Hiya Jenny
Yes, that first thread was hilarious! I was a bit worried about reposting her because I didn't want the likes of my good buddies Poll, Lones, Carolyn, Skippy, Yvonne and Tomkin thinking I didn't love their pics to bits because I do, but she's just so beautiful I thought she deserved to be seen again.
Of course, getting back to your version, to uses Elizabeth's word ..exquisite!! :-* :-* :-*
Caz
-
Another one for the pile.
Jim
-
Hiya Jim
Phew! You had me worried ;D ;D but then I knew you wouldn't do anything so awful to this little angel except provide me with another stunning, delicate version! You're a treasure (well, sometimes ::) ::) ;D ;D)! A very much welcomed addition to the pile! :-* :-* :-*
Caz

Hi Caz
Here is a simple uncomplicated colour scheme for you
Mudge

Hiya Mudge
Wow and how effective is that, simple but stunning!! Love it, just beautiful (you took your time though, thought you'd be first cab off the rank! ;) ;) ;D ;D )
Many, many thanks :-* :-* :-*
Caz
-
Hi Caz
What a beautiful pic.
Irene
-
Glad you liked it Caz. :) :) :) Some things in life are worth waiting for ;) ;) ;)
Mudge
-
I do, very much. ;)
Can't believe how spoilt I've been....far more fun than colouring it myself. Tempted to dig up all my pics and repost them!! Only kidding!! :P :P
Caz
-
Hiya Irene
Aw yes!! What can I say except that is just beautiful and I adore the colours! My sincere thanks!! :-* :-* :-*
I'm feeling a bit down at the moment so seeing all these beautiful versions of my pic is lifting my spirits no end.
Thank you all for spoiling me!! :-* :-* :-*
Cheers
Caz
(PS I tried to post this before but must have gotten bumped ??? ???)
-
Couldn't resist this little beauty.
Nan
-
After I posted it, I noticed that her hair looked a little dull. Here's a corrected version.
Nan
-
And I am so glad you didn't Nan....another brilliant version to add to my collection.... I can feel a montague coming on!!! ;D ;D (Hope I spelt that right!)
My sincere thanks to you as well! :-* :-* :-*
Caz
-
Well here's my feeble attempt Caz .... sorry its late .... takes me forever ;D ;D
Genie
-
Hello there Genie!!
You are a dill ;D, there is nothing feeble about your pic at all...I love the fact that you've gone in a different direction with the colours, the lemon is beautiful and I love it. :-* :-* :-*
I tweaked the pic a tad by adding some different lighting and a frame, not sure if it will stay in this frame though..might be a bit too severe for her.
I'll be framing everyone of the versions I've received as soon as I can find ones to suit each pic and I will post a small version so everyone can see their own colour version framed.
Caz

Here's Nan J's....
Caz

With Irene's I've given her a porcelain cameo look.
Caz

Mudge's....

Jim's...

Jenny's...
Caz

Elizabeth's....
Caz
(Sorry Mudge, haven't checked your probably right as I'm doing these at the rate of knots..they will all need tweaking and I might change my mind about which pic goes in which frame, add more effects etc but for now, just thought you'd like to see the "almost" finished version). ;)
-
And last but by no means least...Hippy's. Because this frame is quite "busy", I've created more of a portrait so as not to over power the photo...hope it works!
Phew...I'm exhausted ;D ;D ;D
I will tweak them to get the perspective right and repost..but not tonight!
Hope I haven't bored everyone with these but they are all so beautiful, I thought you might enjoy seeing them framed.
Cheers
Caz

Mudge
Done a quick adjustment of yours and Elizabeths which appeared elongated..hope it's improvement but I will check in the morning. Slightly crossed eyed at the moment!! :o :o ;D ;D ;D
Caz
-
Isn't she just lovely!
It's hard to choose but I think the one I like best is NanJ's in the carnation frame...the colours of the pic and the frame complement each other so perfectly.
Cheers,
China
-
I agree with Chyna oops, China! ;D Everyone is lovely in its own way. You have really shown how much you appreciate everyone's work Caz, by setting them all in these beautiful frames. You have obviously taken time to find frames that compliment the colours and mood of each of the pictures.
A super team effort all round :D :D :D :D :D
-
Elizabeth, if that's a first try...keep um coming, that's great... Liked it so much I just had to make a daisy chain for it... hope you like it.....
-
The daisy chain looks gorgeous with the yellow!! thank you...!
and Cazz....I appreciate all the work you've done, theres one minor adjustment that needs noticing, and that is that you have Jennys pic under my name. Of course...I'll take the credit for her work.. :D as I was impressed with hers very much.. :) :)
-
Caz,
You did a wonderful job of picking the perfect frame for each version. I must say, all of your frames are quite beautiful.
Nan
-
Well I'm not clever like the rest of you,
But caught sight of this and had to say Wow! Everything else has been said. What a beautiful child!
You are all so very clever!
Rabbit B :)

Sorry Elizabeth!! I will fix it tonight...was a bit weary last night.
Glad everyone likes them.

With apologies to Elizabeth for my error, but here's Elizabeth's beautiful colouring with hopefully a frame that compliments. Again, I've done a portrait version.
