Transforming ordinary objects--books, boxes, tins, cards, and more--into miniature works of art by altering them with techniques ranging from collage and paint to rubber stamps and cut-outs is the focus of ALTERED ART. After a discussion of history, tools, and adhesives, each chapter is devoted to the basics of reconstructing books, boxes and tins, cards, tags and games, and altered objects. Using old encyclopedias, doll parts, puzzles, and more, 30 diverse and unusual projects are shared. Each chapter includes a stunning photographic gallery of examples from different artists. With full-color photographs.
