A fast-growing craft trend, handled by experts. Choose an object,a cigar box, playing cards, an old album cover,and use it as a creative starting point to make beautiful and entirely new items to display and use: that's altered art, and it's the fastest-growing trend in the craft world today.

Take a look at the artistic traditions that inspired this movement, and see how to use the crafter's familiar tools, materials, and processes in entirely new ways. Paint, collage, pierce, sew, and cut the pages of an old book. Change an ordinary candy tin into a charming decorative storage case with paper scraps, metal grommets, and paint. The possibilities are infinite.… (meer)
Altered art is simply the result of taking a found object and changing it in some intriguing or surprising way to make an artistic statement of your own (book jacket).
Some of the items in the book are really bizarre, but it strengths come from the variety of techniques shown to making your own altered art project. An interesting read in-and-of itself as well as an art instruction book with simple instructions and illustrations. I will put this book aside and go out and find interesting do-dads and then come back and attempt to make beautiful works of odd and fascinating art. ( )
Tremendously inspiring! A range of techniques and media with lots of instructions, material tutorials and galleries to encourage and inspire. Highly recommended for beginning and advanced artists in the altered/mixed media fields! ( )
