Customer Reviews

Great resource book for beginners...
I think this book is an excellent resource for those of us who are new to collage or altered art. Her instructions are clear and complete. The book covers many different projects from greeting cards and soldered jewelry to shrines and collaging onto sheet metal. She even gives directions on making your own chains for the jewelry. I especially like the quick and easy projects like collaging in tiny tins and making magnets out of glass marbles--very nice for gift giving. Her sample art is beautiful, and I didn't find her work to be mostly sepia tones and muted colors as another reviews says. I love vintage so maybe I'm biased.
This is a book you can pick up and right away get started creating beautiful vintage art.

Collage Lost And Found
I enjoyed everything about this book. I love Collage using Vintage materials
and found many helpful suggestions, and easy instructions for projects such
jewlery made from glass slides, making paperweights, shrine from a cigar box,
altered book covers, you name it, this book has it. This book is my new favorite
in my library of many "How to" art books.

excellent for starters and good resource for those old hats
It you are interested in vintage altered art and collage this book is for you...good part of the book is working with tools. the instructions aer clear, the pictures helpful and the examples inspiring for everyone. For those who have done collage for a while the best part fo the book talks about using family history and culture in your work as well as some great ideas about where to find different materials.
