description: Crafters are altering everything?clothing, shoes, handbags, journals and much more. They start with an existing item?a cotton jumper or a jean jacket?and embellish or alter it in a variety of ways to make it something new. ?Altered Art? is the newest trend in the art and craft world. The first section of the book features tips and techniques that show how to do various creative alterations on ripping, tearing, painting and dyeing, beading, adding images and letters, and adding hardware such as grommets, snaps, jewels, and more. The second section of the book includes 30 altered clothing and accessory projects the avid crafter can make at home. Step-by-step photography details the techniques, and large, vibrant color photos of finished projects show off the fashionable projects. The book is filled with accessible, idea-inspiring projects for people interested in creating their own look.
