I had not carried out a portrait of an individual in Susan’s approach but, so wished to make use of this chance to discover ways to collage facial options based mostly on a photograph. Devon’s huge smile was a problem — 21 particular person enamel!! My daughter Devon on the left and granddaughter Anu on proper.
