Readers will learn how to alter treasured books through collage, paint, layering, sewing and more. And they'll learn how communities of artists can come together to select a topic, set up a project, and ultimately publish or show their finished collaborative work.
Filled with easy, how-to projects and beautiful gallery photos, this book will help artists of any ability to create books that tell unique and personal stories.
