can you colour mum for me please?
« on: Monday 11 February 08 12:31 GMT (UK) »
hi,

i have been sent in this direction from family tree forum and told that you will be able to help me.

mum had dark brown hair, "peaches and cream" skin, bluey-grey eyes and pale pink lips.  as for the cardigan she is wearing i have no idea - apart from the fact the photo was taken in 1953//54

Hi Amy  ;D

and my colour one, this one has a few enhancements to the other one posted and its bigger

Jenny

fist time I have ever done this:
removed as not up to "standard"

Please acknowledge when a restorer works on your photos, it can take hours for them to work their magic

Please scan at 300dpi minimum to help save the restorers eyesight.
