Crafting Personal Shrines - Using Photos- Mementos - Treasures to Create Artful Displays

5 stars (Practical, Inspiring and Beautiful!) - I picked this book up at the library, but had to buy my own copy after reluctantly turning it in after having it four weeks and renewing it once. The illustrations of the unique, beautiful shrines and shadow boxes created by the artists are worth the price of the book even if you never make one. I'm no whiz at crafting, but the instructions are so simple, easy to understand and clearly written that I made 2 shrines in less than 2 weeks in my spare time. Each example has several variations and each shrine has an easy to understand material list. The instructions were even easy enough for a man to follow. LOL! If you love collage, you'll love this book. It's a wonderful way to take collaging a step further to a 3 dimensional, inexpensive medium that can become a collector's item or family heirloom. I highly recommend this book! 5 stars (OH GOODNESS!) - This is simply one of the most inspiring books i've got!!!! Such beautiful pictures,how-to-s projects...SIMPLY AMAZING! ...
