Fun ideas for reusing and repurposing items for art-making. I like the tips for less toxic ways to create art.

The end result is up to you, but the book provides a concise visual and text details to use images in new ways, to create and expand from existing objects.

A nice little book about a subject that seems to be very seldom addressed in art and crafts, that of the toxicity of various materials. Lots of good recipes and ideas for fine artists, but the vast majority are for painters and other visual artists with very little on metalwork or sculpture. I would like to see a future edition or revision of this book that addresses those areas. This would be an excellent reference for educators or art historians.

Beautiful book, lots of lovely colorful photos of art, good basic and beyond techniques
