VIGNETTE -ALTERED ART - Scrapbooking on the Wall



Scrapbooking has gone to a whole new wonderful level.  Who would have thought that the art of finally getting those pictures out of drawers and into fabulous albums would turn into another art form.  The companies that offer little doo dads are endless.  With the prices of vintage jewelry at the thrift stores now, you can still find a good bargain at the craft store, all be it brandy new, to use in your altered art - - found object pieces. It is a little vignette. http://www.etsy.com/listing/81329193/giddy-up-altered-art-assemblage-off-into I think of a theme in my mind and try to take it from there...but of course, routing through my many drawers of this that and the everything is a task itself to put items together that make sense and will have a flow to the piece.  Almost always something stamped adds texture and interest, whether it be words or leaves or whatever other stamp you would like to use out of the millions of them they offer.  I like to include something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue.
