This review is from: Memory Art: 30 ideas for shadowboxes and other keepsake displays (Paperback)
I did a collage of my mom's life and this book was so helpful to me. The artist's projects inside are wonderful! I recommend it for inspiration and helpful techniques.

Memory Art: Beautiful Ways to Honor Loved Ones or Treasured Memories,
By
This review is from: Memory Art: 30 ideas for shadowboxes and other keepsake displays (Paperback)
Mary Lynn Maloney provides fresh, fun, unique, and innovative ways to construct mixed-media themed pieces designed to memorialize a person, event, or one's own hobbies or collections. She begins with examples of things you have around the house to "frame" your art pieces with, or that can be obtained cheaply from yard sales or thrift shops, plus other materials you can incorporate into your piece. Beautifully described and photographed, her book shows many ways to honor the memory of a loved one (art becoming family heirloom pieces) or to take things from ones past that are lying in a sack or drawer and bring them to life. This can be anything from pamphlets and souvenirs from a special trip, or awards, photos and other kudos you have acquired throughout your life to commemorate a life's history. I've never seen a book quite like this, and I'm anxious to implement Maloney's creative ideas into pieces of my own.

Shadowboxes,
By Luna Soliel "Luna Soliel" (Florida) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Memory Art: 30 ideas for shadowboxes and other keepsake displays (Paperback)
I wanted to know more about shadowboxes and how to make them. Memory Art has been a big help, offering ideas and techniques I wouldn't have considered. The descriptions and instructions are easy to understand, and there are photos to help. If you're looking to make a shadowbox (out of just about anything), I'd recommend this book--no matter what your age. This book is good for all ages.
