Review
"This book is about showcasing different media and encouraging crafters to reveal at least one part of their personalities through art." "--Booklist"

Product Description
Get all the inspiration and techniques you need to partake in the hottest trend in mixed media and collage: creating artistic self-portraits. Self-portraits are not only a way for mixed media artists to learn about themselves and their art but also about each other."Mixed Media Self-Portraits" features a wide range of artists and contributors who explore creative self-portraits through exercises, essays, and gallery art, offering readers inspiration plus mixed-media, collage, and fiber-arts techniques.Essays throughout the book by a variety of mixed-media artists provide an artistic guide to personal self-discovery. Working in mixed media freed many of the artists featured to express themselves in unusual, unepresentational ways, allowing these artists to reveal even more about themselves in the process.The book guides readers through different approaches to creating self-portraits, from jumpstarting the creative process to step-by-step techniques to get ideas flowing on paper and fabric in a variety of media and forms from art quilts to assemblage to paper collage, and more. Filled to the brim with a wealth of inspiration, creative prompts, techniques and compelling artwork, this book is an artistic guide to representing yourself creatively in mixed-media work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Simple writing for simple folk, 4 Jun 2009
By R. K. Ltd (London) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Don't buy this book if you're expecting anything remotely serious. It begins with a definition of the word "self-portrait," for God's sake, and the intellectual level doesn't go up from there. It is also not for people who think that drawing and painting have anything to do with art. The book suggests tracing your mirror image and doing all sorts of things with computers. You'd think it was for children if there weren't so many pictures of silly-looking middle-aged women and references to double chins and crow's feet.
