Making Art for Memory's Sake

Keeping memories is so much more than just sliding photographs into the plastic sleeves of a photo album - it's an art form. Inside Artful Memories, co-authors Carol Wingert and Tena Sprenger show you how to take your memory art to the next level by creatively combining traditional artist's mediums with fabric, papercrafting and bookmaking supplies.

You'll learn how to:

  • Alter and enhance photos with art supplies, like watercolor, acrylic paint, tar gel and even a Polaroid Day Lab machine
  • Find inspiration in everyday items - like clipboards, fabric and even cabinet doors - and use them to creatively display your photographs
  • Create all kinds of memory art, including sophisticated scrapbook layouts using paper and fabric, books with pages made of everything from transparency sheets to canvas, and even personalized art for your walls
From image transfers to book binding, Artful Memories combines the hottest techniques in the memory art world to help crafters make the most of their treasured memories. You'll find projects you love in each of the four chapters: Paper Arts, Fabric Arts, Book Arts and Wall Arts. And you'll be inspired by the work contributed by some of the hottest names making memory art today that fills the galleries at the end of each chapter.

5.0 out of 5 stars A True Delight!, June 16, 2006
This review is from: Artful Memories: Create One-of-a-Kind Scrapbook Pages, Memory Books and Framed Art (Paperback)
I was absolutely delighted by this book! The unique (and fun!) projects in Artful Memories burst off the pages with bright, juicy colors. The instructions are easy to follow and their "make it yours" suggestions are clever and really got me thinking about my household items that are just waiting to be painted, collaged, and embellished with my own memories.

4.0 out of 5 stars Artsy and fun, February 26, 2007
This review is from: Artful Memories: Create One-of-a-Kind Scrapbook Pages, Memory Books and Framed Art (Paperback)
I picked up Artful Memories because I know of Carol and Tena's work. They are incredible instructors and have quite a faithful following of fans. I love the cover of this book and so many of the projects. This honestly is one of my favorite books that I turn to when I need to spark my creative juices for my scrapbooking/altered art. I can't wait to see their newest book, Lifelines, when it comes out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Life as Art, January 30, 2007
This review is from: Artful Memories: Create One-of-a-Kind Scrapbook Pages, Memory Books and Framed Art (Paperback)
This book takes the fun and color of the scrapbook through your whole house! The authors have a sense of humor and write with intimacy, so you enjoy the book, not just looking at the pictures. The projects are well-explained and DO-able! I met Carol Wingert at the CHA convention, and she is so generous and friendly.
