MY
WISH FOR YOU
by Carol Wingert
All of her life, artist Carol Wingert has wondered
about her cousin Zena and her life in faraway Russia, a life
much different than her own. The two have never met, but Carol
has always felt a special kinship with Zena and was inspired
to create this haunting and beautiful photo transfer collage
of her cousin. Read Carol’s letter to Zena, and discover
how she used photo transfers to create this and other gorgeous
works remembering her Russian relatives.

How
to Love a Child
Allison Strine was so inspired by a poster she saw by the artist Sark
called "How to Really Love a Child" that she created this
colorful fabric book for her own children. We think you’ll really
love this playful artwork.
|
Vintage Babies
Carlene Federer "adopted" these adorable babies that she
found at antique stores while vacationing in Carlsbad, California.
The result: sweet, Victorian-style scrapbook pages with plenty of
romantic embellishments.

Embellished
Baby Collages
Wondering what to do with your baby photos? Janet Hofacker created
these wonderful dimensional collages with vintage fabric, buttons
and ephemera. She offers step-by-step instructions for creating a
baby collage of your own.
Correction:
Due to an editing error, the clothstrips mentioned in Janet's article
were incorrectly listed as 1/4" wide. They should be 3/4"
wide. Legacy regrets the error.

Love
Story
We simply fell in love with Carolyn Congrove’s "Love Story"
– a Valentine book she made for her mom and dad. Carolyn used envelopes
for her pages, filling them with old clippings and photos. Find out
how she created this pretty paper Valentine.
