BOOK COVER SURVEY

 

ARTFUL MEMORIES is a book about creating meaningful artworks using old photographs. It is a book about the transformation of familiar, often mundane objects, into immortal art objects. It provides easy step by step instructions on how to transform old photographs to create a new story. But it is so much more than just an instructional book - it’s a visual experience, a time travel machine, accompanied by art, quotes, inspiration galleries and even music, all personally selected by us.

In this book you will learn how to:

• choose the right photographs and prepare them for altering
• combine photographs with collage, paint, natural elements and other media
• create artworks in containers
• create 3D photograph structures
• stitch on photographs
• create woven and patchworked photographs... And so much more.

You can use photographs of your loved ones to keep their memory alive, or of unknown people to weave new meanings.

The book also includes 125+ original artworks created by artists from all over the world and 50+ copyright-free photographs.

Artful memories is not just for artists. It’s for someone who appreciates an old, torn photograph and believes that lost memories can be preserved and made immortal.
