Egbert and Eglantyne’s Wedding Photograph
On a rainy Saturday in March, sister and brother, Egbertine and Egden, perused the Egg family album to pass the time away. As they turned the pages, they came across a beautiful sepia photo of their grandparents, Egbert and Eglantyne on their wedding day in 1924. With a veil made of antique French lace, Eglantyne made the most beautiful and blushing bride, and looked perfectly matched with her handsome husband Egbert with his handlebar moustache, smart bow tie and top hat.
The theme for "Smile on Saturday" on the 30th of March is "eggs-pressive", as a tribute to Easter. For this theme, you had to take a picture of one or more eggs and these eggs had to be 'expressive', so they had to have 'faces' of some kind. In this case… or should that be carton… I have used hens’ eggs where I have drawn the faces on using very finely tipped felt tipped pens. I placed them against a crushed velvet background and I accessorised them with some vintage lace which served as a veil for our blushing bride, a piece of black ribbon for our dashing groom, some handmade 1:12 scale miniature roses made by Beautifully Handmade Miniatures in Kettering, and a 1:12 miniature top hat made by Heidi Ott. I have given the photograph a sepia treatment and framed it so it appears to be held in place in an old photo album using photo corners. I hope you like my choice for the theme this week, and that it makes you smile.
