Saturday Workout - Altered Cabinet Card


This fellow is from a cabinet card of an anonymous ancestor in my great grandmother's photo album. Unfortunately he was not identified. I've given him dreams of Paris, a beret, and a monocle. Who knows - maybe those dreams came true! Thanks for the challenge!

    Love the monocle! This is a wonderful, vintage piece, Bev. I like your ancestor's colorful attire but somehow I don't think your grandmother would have approved of his foppery. Great work.

    He looks rather stern - almost an aristocratic eye through that monocle I love it.
