5.0 out of 5 stars No detours here..., June 12, 2004

By	Nancy A. Staab (West Virginia USA) - See all my reviews

this is an Altered Journey that you won't want to miss. What a wonderful DVD -- full of inspiration and clear instructions. There is something for everyone and the presentation is flawless. Tim Holtz does a brilliant job of simplifying the various techniques and the instructions, camera angles, and sound are exceptional. I watched the DVD and then made the faux batik silk scarf -- it is georgeous! The DVD costs less than most classes, and you can watch it over and over. Buy it, you won't regret it -- An Altered Journey with Tim Holtz belongs in everyone's library.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply the best how-to I have ever seen, June 9, 2004

By	Jacqueline Cherie (USA) - See all my reviews

An Altered Journey with Tim Holtz is a perfect how-to product. Every technique is presented clearly and completely and was filmed from angles that allow you to see, up close, exactly what the artist is doing with his hands every step of the way...I felt like I was sitting next to him. The projects are beautiful and the techniques are diverse, versatile and clearly explained. The most surprising aspect for me was how applicable these techniques could be to my own work as a polymer clay artist. I thought this DVD was going to be geared exclusively to rubber stampers but that was not the case. There is something here for everyone regardless of your medium or interest; jewelry, collage, scrapbooks, altered books, painting, fiber arts, rubberstamping and more. I took away something that I could use from each and every technique...though in truth, it would have been worth watching for Tim's studio tips alone.

Another aspect that I particularly enjoyed was the unprecedented number of gallery pieces shown. At the end of each segment there is a mini-gallery; you get to see, not just the finished project featured in that segment but also many other projects made with that same technique. In addition, there is a comprehensive gallery feature on the menu which lets you skip straight to the eye candy and includes not only more detailed, up close views of all of the artwork featured at the end of each segment but also many additional pieces of artwork that are found nowhere else on the DVD. I was amazed at the sheer number and scope of pieces in the gallery...it's incredible and inspiring and would, all by itself, have been worth the price of admission.

Finally, I am thrilled with the DVD format. It is incredibly easy to navigate, it enabled me to instantly and easily revisit any segment I was interested in and offered wonderful features. In the extras section for instance, there is a complete collection of all of the fabulous tips that were scattered throughout , a comprehensive listing of all of the stamps that Tim uses and even a bloopers segment. Marvelous. I highly recommend An Altered Journey and will be watching for other PageSage productions with interest; it was simply the best how-to product I have ever seen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Super Duper!!!, February 20, 2005

By	merrymousies (Waterford, VA USA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

This is such a great video I can't believe how much I learned from it. I've watched it over and over and keep learning more. The examples are good and the video is really well done. You can clearly see what is being done. Tim is terrific in the way he explains things, and the techniques are really cool. I use them in my altered books and in making artist trading cards. I use them with rubber stamping and collage. Well worth the money since there are so many techniques provided here. I hope he produces another one soon!!
