A new online service from Your Memento allows you to turn your ordinary photographs into stunning contemporary wall hangings to decorate your home.

All you have to do is specify your requirements on their website, send the photos to them and they will do the rest.

You choose the art style - ranging from soft, blended style to 60’s Andy Warhol inspired styles to contemporary pop art.

Then you choose how you want your art to be displayed - like paintings on canvas block, bespoke acrylic wall hangings (with pre-drilled holes and fixings ready to be bolted to the wall), as photo prints, in memento books (with 40 pages), on MDF mount board or even as floating images in the new Air Gap Float range.

Photo prints start at £47 for a blended art style, memento books are £350, and canvas blocks (pictured) start at £80 for a 12 by 12 inch wall hanging.

To celebrate China in London 2006 and to coincide with the show at the Royal Academy, Guinevere Antiques is staging a selling exhibition of Chinese ancestral family tree paintings.

Sourced from the Shanxi Province, these original works of art date from the 17th to 19th Century, and played an important role in Chinese family life. Usually commissioned for events like the birthday of the head of the family, they record in great detail all the members of the family tree.

Male and female ancestors are always shown separately, and some paintings even come in two halves. As each ancestor is shown as a recognisable individual, dressed in appropriate clothing for the period and often named, the paintings are also accurate historical records.

Many of the paintings in the show have been relined and put on stretchers ready to be hung as pictures - others are being sold unmounted as hangings.

‘Ancestors’ runs from December 2005 to April 2006. Prices for the paintings range from £1,000 to £10,000.
