Thank you so much! This is the only photo I have taken (not hired by photographer) and edited myself. So it is completely my favorite!

Thank you very much! This is my favorite work of this year.
I am a major fan of the 40's
The manip was done on my windows photo editor. I am not really a whiz with Photoshop yet. lol But I had a lot of fun with this one.
Thanks again!
Hugz,
Amelea

I actually love all the clothes styles and so on of the 40's, 50's and 60's
Wow, this one doesn't look as if you were, like, only a beginner with digital manip.
And no problem by the way.

You did a really amazing job! I love the hair and makeup in the 40's If you want to make it easier for the curl/roll to stay just backcomb it a bit first, it works like a charm

I've always wondered how to do that hair. ><
Aah, to be living in those times...

lol I thought it was going to be a bit difficult...well, i mean it did take forever to curl the hair and then pin it all! But I am pleased with the overall look. Maybe it's easier once you know it? BAh, i don't know.....lool
Yeah it would have been awesome to live in the 40's....

Amelea In reply to siriuslyblack [2008-06-11 17:20:00 +0000 UTC]

I just used Heated Rollers and lots and lots of hairspray. Then I put pins where necessary. The tough part was getting the curl on the left side to stay like that, and keep the pins hidden at the same time. lol
