5.0 out of 5 stars One of my all time altered heritage art favorites!, December 31, 2007

Elisha Granger "Lulabelle's Mom" (NYC, NY) - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Art from the Heart: Mixed-Media Collage (Paperback)

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.
