Lifelines

Authors Carol Wingert and Tena Sprenger explore a variety of relationships through distinctive projects. Their art is on the leading edge of memory arts, and the book projects, layouts and keepsakes featured will appeal to the memory artist whether she considers herself a scrapbooker, a memory artist or an altered artist. As in "Artful Memories", the techniques taught with each project will be very much part of the appeal of the book. Not only will readers see their terrific ideas, they'll be able to re-create the projects themselves using the step-by-step photography. The 30 projects feature relationships and connections that readers can easily transfer to their own relationships. The book is divided into three chapters: "Here and Now", "Forever Remembered" and "Express Yourself". Readers will see how to chronicle their day-to-day lives and the lives of their loved ones, both in the present and the past. In addition, Carol and Tena and their contributors will include their thoughts and motivations behind the projects, which for readers is also very appealing.
