From the Author

The term 'altered art' conjures up different visions and ideas for every individual. Artists seem to be especially adept at finding their own unique meaning for anything they decide to lab 'altered'. Some artists may say, "that's not altered" or another may say "that is definitely altered" or still another artist might think, "that's sort of altered" about the same piece of artwork.

We decided to create a book titled "Altered! Art Projects" that would appeal to all types of artists, from scrapbookers to those who do mixed media and assemblage artwork.

We can't wait for you to feast your eyes on the breathtaking collection of all the fabulous altered art featured in this book: birdhouses, shadow boxes, window panes, wooden hearts, bowls, framed collages and scrapbook pages, boxes and much more.

We know you will find joy in creating these fun and inspirational projects, that, with your personal touch, will become your own works of altered art.
