My grandmother's necklace, taken at 3:30 PM, using available window light and tripod.
In PhotoFiltre, used "Aged effect" - 50% "old photography"; also used 50% "more shadows". Re-sized, used very thin frame, finished with "sharpen more."

  I really like the gloved hand to display your Grandmother's beautiful necklace, Mary. Wonderful effects, and the narrow frame is a perfect touch to this lovely, and elegant image.

  Thank you, Deb, Robert, Goshka, Kathy, Carla, Christina, and Darryl, for all your kind and thoughtful comments.

And, Darryl ~ I learned my lesson from "It's a Boy" ... this week, I wrote down every effect before I moved on to another one. :)

  Thank you for your friendly response, Pat!!
If it weren't for the "purple" theme category, I wouldn't have thought to put this "on display." I've only worn it once, but if I ever make it to the red carpet on Oscars' night, I'll have it on, even if I'm wearing Bermuda shorts and a tanktop! LOL!
