New Market for Scrapbooking Products

摘要

Altered art has risen to the position of accepted artistic expression and is bringing entirely new customers to scrapbook and craft stores for supplies. In some cases, the customer begins in another discipline and grows to altered art as she (he) searches for new outlets and challenges for techniques and skills. Altered art is a piece of artwork that began as something else and has been changed or altered with glue, paint, collage, rubber stamps, scissors, hand manipulation (tearing) or embellishing. It is an expression of one's self, a piece of art, an experiment or a conversation piece. It can tell a story about family history, an event or a hobby. Sound familiar?
