Old Folk

My mother was doing the waggy finger thing here as she didn't want me taking her photograph, but I got it Lol! The same weekend that I captured this she was bemoaning the lack of participation in events from her neighbours in the sheltered accommodation she lives in; "there are too many old folk coming to live in the flats" after a moment we both started to laugh as she will be 92 in August - age is just a number, I knew what she meant! :)

I started with an artsy paper from Tres Bon and then layered on top a further overlay to the right hand side of the page. I clipped the photograph to a fotoblendz on soft light mode then repeated it a further twice to build up depth. I still found that I wanted the eye a little darker so duplicated again erasing everything but the eye area, this meant there are 4 photograph layers. Little numbers 1 brushes are also on overlay mode and repeated with some parts erased slightly. The title is colour burn and in green as that's my mother's favourite colour!

love this F... my mother passed last week at almost 95... she used to comment about the old folks in her independent living but then... she became one herself... passages... love your Mum's spunk... and the waggy finger... such a fun gal... and your pages that showcase your mum are classic... love her smile and your creativity...
 
Awwww, your mom is a treasure! Or in Texas we'd say she's a hoot. Love her attitude as much as I love your design.
