The Complete Guide to Altered
Imagery : Mixed-Media Techniques
for Collage, Altered Books, Artist
Journals, and More by Karen Michel
Great Book!
Altered art is hot. Its a current term that encapsulates all the layered,
complex imagery used by artists who make altered books, keep artist
journals, and do collage. The concept is even crossing into the
scrapbooking world. This is the most comprehensive technique book
published to date for creating altered imagery and covers a range from
traditional art techniques to digital art techniques, showing how to blend
and merge the two successfully. The technique section is followed by a
project gallery that shows how to use your finished imagery in collage,
journal, and altered book projects. There is significant crossover among
artists who work in the areas of collage, artist journals and altered books
and although there are books on each of these distinct areas of art, there

is not a good comprehensive book that thoroughly covers all of the
methods of visual imagery and manipulation that can be applied when
creating collage, altered books, journals or even for framed art, until now.
Techniques include: I. Altered Imagery using Photography Altering 35mm
prints (3 techniques, Altering digital photography Altering Polaroid
photography II. Altered Imagery using your Computer Working with
printers Working with scanner
