Altered Art Ideas & how-to
Posted: Thu May 02, 2013 9:23 am
Altered art is just taking an item and giving it a facelift or repurposing it or taking multiple items and putting them together to create something new (useful or not). So, before throwing those cans, boxes or bottles in the garbage, think about how you could turn them into something beautiful or quirky with a little paint, ink, paper and bling.
A few things you may want to look for to alter are cans, jars, bottles, boxes, tins, plastic containers, old picture frames, books, flower pots, wooden spoons or other utensils, spools, coasters, dominoes...... the list is endless. Then gather other items to use on your piece..... old jewelry, paper clips, cardstock, fibers, fabric, wire, tissue tape, brads, flowers, paint, alcohol ink, perfect pearls, stamps. Look in junk drawers or the garage and find unusual little items.
There are no rules here. I just want you to have fun.
Oh, there will be a prize sent to a randomly chosen winner from the list of entries posted to this challenge.
