Another neat book filled with tons of collage art projects using old ephemera such as postcards, maps, wallpaper, sheet music and pages from books. Projects include, note cards, gift tags, place cards, paperweights, terra cotta pots, boxes and shadow boxes.

Loved the simplicity and the beauty of the projects in this book, wonderfully refreshing that you don't have to have layers and layers to have a beautiful collage piece. Great instructions and designs to copy and make to fit your ideas. A book to have on hand.
