 Very Altered Art May 11, 2008

This book turned out to be much deeper into mixing media in art than it seemed to be at first. It will be a great experience to try more of them.
Interesting, original, beautiful, well-explained, necessary April 8, 2008

Though I am able to make a lot of different crafts as I've been a teacher in France during several years, and author of one book released in 1999 in French, I precise, I always had problems with using photos in my crafted items, as I often had very bad surprises. That's why I bought this book, to learn, to know more about working on and around photos.
I also like to find something different and original, not always the same "how to do this or that", and I must admit I learned new things with this book, it made work my imagination, it is original, we feel the author knows her stuff very well, but there are also other artists' creations, and it is really very well explained, even for beginners.
So, I recommend this book which is, I think, useful, even absolutely necessary in any crafter's studio or home.

Mixed Emulsions, Altered Art Techniques for Photographic Imagery April 7, 2008

This is a great book, full of inspiration for anyone who is looking to dabble in altered photographic imagery. Written by Angela Cartwright (if you've never seen the Sound of Music shame on you), the book contains very generous amounts of ideas and tips for your next altered project. There are some images from other artists as well, such as C.W Slade, Claudine Hellmuth and Traci Bautista to name a few. Even if you're not interested in altered imagery, buy it for the art work within it. Worth every cent and wait to cross the oceans to get here..

I LOVE this book! I buy a lot of artist's books ... altered this-and-that, how-to books, etc. This one does not give much actual step-by-step instruction, which I consider an advantage. It gives you the ideas, beautiful examples, the supplies you need to achieve a similar outcome, and assumes that you have enough adventurous spirit to dive in and try it. This is one of the few books that I have read through, cover-to-cover, and can't wait to try almost every technique the author suggests.
