BellaOnline Forums Hobbies and Crafts Paper Crafts Altered Art anyone?

I am loving the look of altered art and I love the idea of being environmentally friendly? Any hints and ideas???

I think it looks amazing! Recycled junk mail makes for great supplies.

I love altered books and am thinking of making some altered cookbooks to showcase my family recipes.

Will it be done traditionally, like as in real paper, or digitally, or a mix of both? This sounds very cool!

Traditionally! And then I can scan the pages to compile digital copies for others.

There is nothing like 3D, textured pages, don't you think? Besides, I have some of my grandmother's stained handwritten recipe cards that would be such authentic additions to the pages.

Scanning is good...especially the old recipe cards...you can also do the recipes on the computer and print them up to put into album. And when you complete and scan in the whole book, you can get it printed at Shutterfly or Artscow into bound albums!

I would like to see some altered cook books, they sound like a cool project.

i will take a look around and see what i can find!!! Thanks for the suggestion, Launa.
