Tintype & Digital Collage

For this digital collage, I used the above tintype, an Ambrotype frame, and cherub head clipart.

Welcome to my new blog!

For my first post, I'd like to share one of my favorite tintypes. The original is unusually large, and the photo looks as if it was taken in a barn. I'm still researching to identify this lovely family, but believe they are McEwens or Stewarts. These fine folks make me smile; I'll bet they never imagined they would one day be touring the world on a blog banner!
