    “Book Descriptions: In Artful Memories, Jane Chipp and Jack Ravi share their passion for creating meaningful artworks using old photographs. Discover how to use photographs of your loved ones to keep their memory alive, or of unknown people to weave new meanings.

    Learn creative techniques through step-by-step tutorials and be inspired by poetry, quotes and even music personally selected. The book is filled with the authors' own works and 125+ original artworks created by other artists from all over the world; all of which started with a found photograph.

    Follow a tutorial from beginning to end, or simply dive in for inspiration and let the photographs whisper a new story.

    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

    Working with old photographs is a very intimate experience that can help focus, increase human compassion and even facilitate grief. You can use photos of your loved ones to keep their memory alive, and to create something meaningful. You can follow a tutorial from beginning to end, or simply use it as an inspiration and let the photographs whisper a new story.

    Artful Memories 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 the authors.”
