What should I do with this photo?

Question

I have a photograph of a relative from the 1880's. It is the most adorable picture of a little girl holding puppies. I would like to do something creative with it, but I don't know what. Any ideas?

Answer 1

Take it to a copy place and have a really nice copy made of it, then store the original in an acid free folder. Then the copy could become part of a door front on a cupboard, or maybe the top of a jewelry box, depending how big it is. Or you could just frame it in a really good reproduction frame.

Answer 2

if you have a few family photos go with the scrapbooking option and try splitcoaststampers.com for info on scrapbooking from the basics to advanced, also try a Michaels crop night, or, do a box frame or just the one scrapbook frame, make sure however what you use around the photo is acid free and/or archival safe as these items wont cause any damage to your photo. I am a scrapbooking teacher, so feel free to mesaage me and I can give you info on your local resources if you go down these routes. Have fun

Answer 3

Create a scrapbook of your family history, including the child in the photo. Have a genealogy record of family members and try and collect other memorabilia and family history.

Answer 4

First, make several copies so you can play with them rather than the original. One copy should be a "digital scan".

If the question had been "What would you do" etc., I'd say take it to cross-stitch chart engine and make a chart from it and stitch a copy. I'd offer copies of the chart to other relatives of the puppy-holder.

Answer 5

I think I'd have something like that painted if you could get someone to do that for you.

Sounds like it would make a nice painting.

Answer 6

Turn it into a locket.
