Sean and I had a nice visit with mom today-we mainly went shopping! : ) I am always happy to find paper craft stuff at the Dollar Tree. Also got a few things at Value City (new badly needed bath towels) and JoAnn’s where I got a few magazines and discounted garden stuff.Mom gave me this copy of her at about age 20, so it was 1950-1. I was playing with it in PSP7. Brian took a photo of the copy for me. I’m not really done with #2, but I thought you’d like to see some improvements. She was and is still a pretty lady. She also has an outstanding soprano voice, though I haven’t heard her sing lately. All are clickable…

This was cut out and glued on paper! Not sure what the definite shading is on the right side of her face…

Here I airbrushed boo-boos-where her hair and blouse had been taped, the unbalanced background, the drawn in eyelashes at the corner of her eyes. I did add ‘whiter’ flash dots in her eyes to make the photo looked newer. As I said, I still need to touch it up. This was over an hour’s worth of work.

And finally some artistic effects…

A cool effect…

I vote for Penelope Cruz to play Jeanne in her life story. She looks more like my mom than I do!
