Product Description
Say the words "memory box" and many people instantly think of shadow boxes. Not designer Anna Corba! She let her imagination run wild, went beyond the ordinary, and in the process totally redefined the tradition. Corba, author of the very successful Vintage Paper Crafts, creates romantic, charming projects that use such unexpected items as tins and wooden crates as a starting point. Outside, she decorates with buttons, polish, fabric, sheet music, stamps, and seashells; inside, she places anything that will evoke wonderful memories, including vacation souvenirs and family recipes. Among her clever ideas: "Baby's New Nest," made from a birdcage and adorned with photographs and alphabet blocks and a velvet beribboned "Opera Box" for storing cherished programs.

the real coverbook is different from that you can see on the AMAZON's page!!!
this is a very bad thing 'cause if I had seen it before, I'll never chose it.
the contents are mawkish and impersonal, often banal.the explanations are insufficient and vague.
he is right for timorous housewifes.

If you are a fan of Corba's Vintage Paper Crafts you will also enjoy this book. Filled with great ideas ranging from traditional memory boxes to objects most of us think of as shadow boxes. What unites all these items is Corba's uncompromising style.

But there just really isn't any substance to this book. The projects are very simplistic, so in that regard I suppose this might be a nice project book for a beginning collage/assemblage enthusiast, but if you have any experience, this book isn't for you. It does have some nice photographs of vintage ephemera, which I plan to cut out of the book and use in my projects, but for me, that is about all this book is good for.
