    What a special photo you've shared with us, Judy. You've created a wonderful shabby sepia background for it. Beautifully done!

    Oh that's great! I must speak to my parents about borrowing some of their old photos and scanning them in, they would love to see them turned into artworks I am sure. At the moment they just sit in a cupboard gathering dust - I think the world should see them don't you?

    Using personal photos in this way Judy is beautiful. Your great grandfather would have been amazed to find himself shown off digitally and right across the world at that.
