5 Star Rating  "mixed media"2010-01-30

Book arrived in excellent condition, quick ship - saved a trip to the book store!

It's just wrong. If you want to create art - make your original work. There is no way you can justify defacing, damaging, and plagarizing other people's work.

The medieval-times monk story, so often used to defend the practice, just does not wash.

Learn about books. Make them from scratch. A book is not your canvas no matter the condition.
 
5 Star Rating  "wonderful altered book source"2009-02-24
- Reviewed By Nancy Maxwell James from Michigan
My son gave me this book as a birthday gift this year and I love it! I do mixed media art, but had never attempted an altered book. The book features easy to follow step by step instructions and visuals. I wish that the book had been in my collection a few years ago, but it will continue to be one I refer to often!
 
5 Star Rating  "Brazelton Makes Altering Books Look Fun and Easy"2008-04-04
- Reviewed By Carol Taller from New Jersey
Altered Books Workshop by Bev Brazelton is a wonderful collage of techniques and ideas that can be used for altering books. The book is a beautiful collection of work, with each page looking like a work of art. It is an easy book to read that is lots of fun to look at. The techniques are explained in simple format with photos to lead you through each step.

The basic techniques section covers collaging, stitching, cutting doors, cutting windows, adding tags, folding pages, and adding inserts. Rubber stamping on tags is one of the many wonderful samples used in this section. These are so much fun and add so much character to the page! Pages are filled with variations and tips, and the art work on each page deserves the time to be studied.

The intermediate techniques include cutting shadowboxes, glazing, adding texture, collaging covers, and cutting covers. Cutting shadowboxes and covers was fascinating to learn. The easy to follow directions with photos makes the procedure sound easy enough for anyone to succeed doing, but the final results look like an experienced artist was involved. Brazelton suggests gluing your pages together before you begin cutting out the shadowbox. When the glue dries, you use a craft knife and change blades often to achieve the cut out that you are looking for. She recommends that you cut the whole area and not worry about how clean your edges are until you are done. Then you can go back and clean up the pages. You can then fill your cut out area with little trinkets to create 3-D collaged art.

This book achieved its goal. Not only did I enjoy reading and looking over each page, but it made me want to alter a book immediately.


 
5 Star Rating  "Great book for beginners or the more experienced"2008-01-24
- Reviewed By Color Mary from Texas
I really like this book a lot! It covers everything for the beginner: what is an altered book, choosing a book, supplies and tools, developing a theme, and then there are some great step by step photos of the whole process of starting the book and doing a double spread. Then is covers 18 different techniques. Some of the basic ones are collaging, stitching, cutting doors, windows, adding tags, folding pages, and adding inserts, all with wonderful examples and photos. Next, are intermediate techniques: cutting shadowboxes, glazing and adding texture, and working with your book cover. Lastly, there are the techniques that Bev calls "creative". They are designing with words, adding a drawer, hanging embellishments, adding fibers and beads, transferring images, and adding pop-ups. All of these subjects in one book is wonderful. That is why I highly recommend this book for a beginner.
 
5 Star Rating  "Helpful "workshop" for beginners"2007-12-06
- Reviewed By reading_mommy
For under five dollars, this book is a great investment for beginners or even those who are just intrigued by altered books. As the author explains, her focus is not to teach her specific style, but rather, some techniques for altering books. For example, she discusses different uses for various glues, how to fold and cut pages, and how to insert shadowboxes. The step-by-step photos and tips are very helpful. For more of an eye-candy, awe-inspiring book, try Terry Taylor's Altered Art. For detailed how-to's and encouragement, Bev Brazelton's book is valuable introduction.
