Title: Would anyone like to colour my gt gt aunt Bertha, please?
Post by: oldtimer on Friday 12 June 20 18:18 BST (UK)
Hi friends,

As the board is quite quiet, I wondered if this photo of my great great  aunt Bertha and her family could be coloured please?

Thanks for looking!

Judy  :D

Hi Judy, when I was looking at this post online I realised I hadn't coloured the fathers hands, I have now finished the photo off !!

Hi Judy....nice to see you back on the board after a long absence  :D I wondered whether Bertha had lost a child as she is wearing a Victorian Picture Locket with a photo which looks like a child.
I have half finished this one but the garden is calling so will do it later.

Hi Carol,

Thank you so much! It's lovely.

That is so interesting about the locket.  I hadn't heard that she had lost a child, but I will do a bit of digging and see if I can find anything.

Thanks again!

Judy  :D

Yes I think so too.....I think facial hair popularity has increased during lockdown so he wouldn't look out of place at the moment, my OH has joined in and could Compete with Hairy Bikers just now....roll on the return of the Hairdressers/Barbers before I get the shears out  :o   ;D ;D ;D

 ;D ;D  Be careful with those shears, Carol!!  You could always encourage him to try a top-knot, so fashionable these days!  ;D
