The art is a bit dated since it is an older book, but the techniques are still valid.

Not as informative as is hoped, but there were many pretty pictures.

I hope to complete most projects in this book. Just yesterday I found books stacked on the curb to be trashed that could be turned into stunning art projects and decor. :) Upcycling!! Thumbs up!
