Todays theme gave me a golden opportunity to use this beautiful photo of my Aunt at the age of 10, in a 'Best Hair Competition' in 1924!
credits - altered paper serviette (unsure of source) for the background,
photo - thanks to my cousin who gave me permission to use it,
I did apply a filter to the altered b/g but cannot remember which one! Enhanced the colour in iPhoto, I did not alter things too much as I wanted the focus to be on my Aunt's hair.
Phew Judy !
ReplyDeletewhat a UNIQUE photo off your aunt !
And those natural curl's in her hair !!
I think that it took hours to wash - dry and style them for the contest. (By the way, did she won ?)
Also a big bravoo for the PERFECT choosen background.
What a beauty !!
One of a kind!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow! She sure had a wonderful head of hair....would hate to have to look after it...Great choice for this theme.
ReplyDeleteWhat a head of hair! it is gorgeous but i bet she had to spend a lot of time combing it out after washing it! i can hear the song in my head....give me long beautiful hair....

ReplyDeleteVery specil it's your Aunt! Great piece of work!
ReplyDeleteOh wow Judy, what a beautiful head of hair ..... simply gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWow, Judy, this is fabulous!!! What a head of hair! I wish I had just a few locks of that wonderful mane. In 1924, I don't believe they shampooed as often as we do now. Maybe it was healthier than all the washing.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your lovely comments on my blog, Judy. I have been away for almost 3 weeks and feel so out of touch with creating and blogging. I tried to do a few digital pieces on the road, but it's not the same as art one can touch.
this is beautiful and so is your aunt. I can't believe she is only 10! Great background.
