Photo No.2 from the archives of the new FB group that found me and is populated with people related to me through my dad ... where I have only a handful of photos.

This is Marion Sharkey with her parents. My guess is that photo was taken between 1925 and 1930.

This photo was torn and taped back together before scanning, so that line that runs through Louis and down to Marion was already there. The photo was also missing the bottom so I improvised Marion's skirt a little. The photo was blended into ArtsyPaper No.2 twice. I changed the orientation of the paper so that the architectural feature appears at the top and bottom of the page. After blending the photo, I added the transfers from the mini palette behind the faces to lighten them up. I also used some of the mini palette brushes to add texture. I blended Marion two more times to the paper pieces, then added the heart cluster over the paper pieces. Added the stitching holes to connect Marion to the smaller blended images of her face, added the journaling and called it done.

Thanks for looking
