Maps are multicolored, numbered, lettered, lined and gridded, and printed on paper, all of which make them an interesting material for recycling objects. In six chapters and with easy-to-understand step-by-step instructions, the artist and map lover Jill Berry shows how old maps can be transformed into home accessories, books, boxes, jewellery, collages or sculptures. Each chapter is supplemented with a rich gallery of artists. Newly designed objects from the city map of the last holiday destination or the map of the dream destination bring back memories in a beautiful way.
