Altered art for everything

Altered art is a term that describes a fusion of different art forms and crafts – from painting and stitchcraft, to scrapbooking and collages. It basically refers to a technique that takes an existing item – whether it’s an old painting, a décor piece or a utilitarian item that you use every day – and applies an array of creative techniques to transform it into something new. The movement towards altered art is being driven by the worldwide trend towards recycling. The possibilities of this craft form are endless, which further accounts for its popularity.
