heppnerguy Posted March 31, 2016 Report Share Posted March 31, 2016 some of you might recall that I had a request for my wife's great grandfathers tractor pattern. Mehendra was able to come up with one that I could use so I cut it. I then colorized it and this is the results. I also made one with the colorizing being on the backer board, instead, but my wife said she did not like that one so i tried it this way, I just used water colors and with next to my no talent nature, it turned out about as well as I can do.

I still think its a great piece! Tony Tony, I agree with your statement here but this is an exception for me because it is a rather confusing piece and it helped to bing our what it looked like when it was selling. Normally, I too would have left it natural but i am writing a booklet for the family history and I want to include a photo of this in my booklet so I thought the colorization was necessary in this case Dick heppnerguy Ninuninu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
