Items related to The Altered Object: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration
Altered art is the fastest growing craft trend today but its practitioners can’t live by books alone: they long to expand their horizons and explore new directions. And this follow-up to the hugely successful Altered Art will fulfill their creative desires. It moves into uncharted territory, focusing not on books, but on transforming the surfaces of a multitude of everyday objects into artistic canvases. The 25 projects clearly prove that the possibilities are limited only by one’s own imagination. For example, in the hands of five different crafters, those ubiquitous mint tins become a small shrine, necklace, photo book, and doll. Profusely illustrated profiles showcase ten contemporary artists doing their work; all provide invaluable insights into the creative process.

From Booklist:
Curious crafters might want to--although it is not mandatory, by any means--begin with the author's helpful primary book on the subject, Altered Art (2004), before looking at this delightful follow-up volume, which takes readers further into the craft. Altered art is a fast-growing one; it entails transforming almost any object that is readily found--and often overlooked--into a two- or three-dimensional artwork. As Taylor indicates in his introduction, altered art can be something as unprofound as a pair of old scissors mounted on an interesting cutting board. A specialist in the craft, Taylor here features his own projects as well as those from two dozen other specialists in altered art. A fascinating world of creativity and imagination awaits the crafter who pores over these pages: a mint tin turns into a visual tribute to a loved one, and a vintage shoe last (that old wooden foot-shaped item people used to place inside shoes to kept them in shape) becomes a mesmerizing sculpture.
