Customer Reviews

One of my all time altered heritage art favorites!
This is an exquisite book. I am sometimes baffled, dismayed or intimidated by some of the books of the altered art genre. All of the projects are quite beautiful and doable by both the neophyte and experienced. You can recreate the exact project based on the extensive directions or use the creations as a stepping stone for your own heritage creations.

Great vintage inspiration!
Catherine Matthews-scanlon takes ordinary everyday items and turns them into inspiring pieces of art. What a wonderful way to display family images and momentos in 3-D creations to adorn your home! Easy to follow directions and great eye-candy too. This book will give you lots of creative ideas and inspiration to take ordinary items and turn them into your own fantastic pieces of personal art.
