Victorian Sisters ~ 1903 Ephemera

"A sister can be seen as someone

who is both ourselves and very much not

ourselves - a special kind of double."

~ Toni Morrison ~

 

I've been wanting to share these Victorian sisters with you, but they needed a makeover first.  Looking below at the "before & afters," you might notice a problem for both was their eyes.  Somehow, the printing wasn't lined up.  The sister wearing red also had suffered some water damage, right down the middle of her face.  It took quite a bit of playing around to get the "after" result, but it was worth it.  It's rewarding to reveal their intended beauty!

 

I used one of my pretty digital papers 

for the "before & after" background.

Here are their close-ups! 

The image below is what's found

on the reverse side of Columbia's Daughters.

Here's a tinted version also.

Thank you so much

for taking time to visit!
