- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5One of the best mixed media / callage books I know. Inspiring with lots of techniques.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5If you like distressed, antique-looking assemblages, I agree with the first reviewer. Personally I'm really tired of looking at collages that are all brown or faded or covered with peeling paint, so I found it less useful. However, it does explain all sorts of techniques, including a bunch of very interesting transfer techniques (which you need a photocopy or laser-print image to use). I'm sure the information will come in handy one day.
