Vintage Photography: Why I love collecting old photographs.

I did a bit of rooting on my last trip home and found some gorgeous old photographs in an old box that belonged to my dad. The pictures are beautifully aged, fragile and hold so many memories. I've uploaded a couple and I can't wait to start creating some lovely pieces with them.Unfortunatly some of the quality is lost after I've scanned them in but you can see the age spots and wonderful creases. I'm planning on printing some of these images on to vintage wallpaper and mulberry paper. I'm also working with some old patchwork pillows. I'll update again when I've starting on them.I challenge you to have a root through your own family albums and see what you can find, old photographs, letters, books and memobrillia can provide wonderful inspiration to create your own pieces. :)
