A project to preserve memories

Be creative.
Gather photos by creating collections\sets. For family genealogy use tree from. Look for old memories. One collection should be the parents with siblings at young adulthood. Add grandparents, uncles, and the siblings. Develop the second collection: the siblings with the siblings, together, at parties, events. Run the line down to current as much as you can. Make it memorable and a fun happy story. Include those relatives of grandparents that keep showing up and memories pop up. Work with affection and without resentment. Attract a happy moment. You can create sets of portraits, label it the many faces of…. Pick patterns of style, you know the expression, whatever is that shows affection or appreciation. Choose an ending, a period, a style display of fashion, whatever inspires your imagination.
Create a network of family and relatives. For the genealogy tree, sometimes the pictures of the grandparents generation lack the quality or simply not the right pictures. Plan a family gathering and request members to bring pictures from specific period or age group and exchange memories. Or talk to someone in the family that can pass the word out for you to let you have those old family pictures and see if you can pick and choose.
While you search for pictures, keep in mind the story. Be flexible. Once you have the collections, decide how to safe keep. I can think of two choices: for the genealogy put up in the wall in sets or tell the story in poster form and hang in that special place. For Memory Albums you can display individually adding craft techniques to enhance the look and help tell the story.

Note:
Poster and wall décor: Scan photos and send via email attachments as jpg or gif. Photos can also be saved to a USB Travel Drive and mail to artist. The submission method is negotiated. Work is prepared and after approved then it is posted on my online-gallery’s print shop. Customer can visit the gallery’s print shop online and view the final work and from there use the tools available to choose the paper type and size, matting and frame. The gallery’s print shop will process the order per customer’s specifications and ship finished work to customer’s address.

Memory albums: bag\envelope collections separately, label envelope\bag, sake keep.
