Two very important things make this book stand out from the crowd of other collage, mixed-media and assemblage titles the projects (full of oddities and the unexpected) and the techniques - several of which have never been published before. A common element of Jane Wynn and 39;s style is to find an object, break it and put it together again (sometimes more than once), and she loves using anthropomorphic associations to tell stories in her projects. Step by step, readers will learn her unique method and her sought-after techniques. Along with surface alterations (faux-aging, patinas and the use of unusual household products) Altered Curiosities teaches metal etching with rubber stamps, simple wiring to create dramatic lighting, instruction for altering simple toy figures (making two-headed animals, for instance) and more.
