Review: Beautiful projects, clear instructions, and FULL of inspiration! - If you are looking for unique and artful ways to work with old photos, look no further! I found that Artful Memories is chock full of project ideas, instructional projects, and tons of inspirational photos of finished projects from various artists using the techniques. I loved that this book helps demystify working with various materials & techniques too (e.g. printing on tissue paper, preparing a book to use as an altered book, printing on fabric, image transfers with matte medium, stitching on paper). The instructions and step by step photos are very helpful. I think it's helpful for you to know the book addresses key topics like selecting materials (papers, fabrics, threads, glues, etc.), and basic art principals (contrast, rule of thirds, negative space, image isolation, depth) to help make the project a success. Projects include artwork that uses paint & pens, containers (altoid tins, boxed dioramas, matchboxes, jewelry boxes), paper (collage, photo cubes, journals), altered books, tea bag art & projects that use natural materials. There are several pages of printable photos and tools & materials recommendations. If you love vintage imagery, photography, mixed media, and art, you will be wowed by this book! Was so inspired I just purchased a second copy for a friend.
Review: Beautiful book full of fresh fun ideas! - This is one of the best books I have purchased in a while!! Over the years, I have collected a lot of art journaling and collage books, many of which had a few good ideas and many I would not use. However, THIS book is filled cover to cover with fun and fresh ideas, using all of those vintage photos we have all collected. There is something in here for everyone! Art journaling, assemblage, collage, stitching...and beautiful and inspiring pictures to accompany all of the projects. I can already tell that this is going to be a staple in my art library...a book that I will return to again and again for ideas and new projects! I would highly recommend this to any mixed media artist- it will jumpstart you into creating!!!!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Extremely well written, for project instructions and to read for enjoyment!
*by K***. on March 31, 2024*

I love this book! The insight and thoughtfulness of working with photographs is immense. If you label yourself as "an old soul" and desire to honor the lives found in photos this book is a must read. It provides so much kindness to the known and unknown people in photos that they become precious in a new life regardless. The authors provide so many methods to explore and create new lives in photos. There is no other book like this in my collection.
