Anyone like to colour my Great (or should it be Grand) Aunt?

[Maggie.]

Unfortunately I don't have one of them together, which is strange as they were a very devoted couple for the whole of their lives together.  I do have a head and shoulders one of her husband on his own that I'm sure was taken on their wedding day.

Can't colour - as you know-  but she's so beautiful!  and I'd hate her to be looking down her nose at me -

Oh - what a lovely surprise this morning to find some more absolutely beautiful  restores.  Thanks so much, Wiggy and Carol - they are so gorgeous, sharp and clean.  Personally I always love the b&w ones as I think they keep the spirit of the original, although this may also be because I find it such a challenge to colour them myself.

That apart, it is lovely to see what 'Auntie Maggie' may have looked like in all her coloured glory - every picture here is gorgeous.

Wiggy - I knew this lady at the end of her long life and she did indeed have quite a lengthy nose.  She was a lovely kind lady but quite strict and rather prim.  I inherited her rocking chair - not the most comfortable thing to sit in but I'm very happy to give it a home as it's quite old.

Getting your head around a new computer isn't easy is it Carol?  However I can tell from this that you are well on the way - good to see you back 'on the job'.

hi Maggie,

Isn't she a beauty! And she looks so tiny! You must be so thrilled with all these different interpretations of your photo! They are all fab, aren't they!

Love the hat

Hi Judy,

Aren't the colours and restores just wonderful?  It really is interesting to see the different ways the pic is interpretted.

Auntie Maggie WAS tiny - I remember her as a rather bird-like elderly lady with snow-white hair.  I have lots of pictures of her taken towards the end of her life - perhaps it would be interesting to post one here as a sort of 'Before and After' thing.

Shall I?  Or perhaps that would be going off topic.

Oh, I am sure we would all like to see one! (I know I would!))
