Good guide

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 14 years ago

This is a good guide on creating shrines with step by step instructions ... lots of varied and inspirational ideas. If you are new to this art form like me, it's very informative.

Easy to make shrines

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

This is a nice book to have. Even if you are not making the shrines yourself, it's still very useful for getting pointers on decorating premade ones. I once bought 90% off aroma therapy sets that came in wood cases with glass doors that are just perfect. Really stunning projects! By the way, one of the tag suggestion for this book is occult. What???

An Inspiration

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago

This book was an inspiration and a joy. The author gave easy to follow basics and direction to personalize a "sacred house". If you have any creativity at all it is easy to grow from the basics to your own unique artist statement. I felt the directions were very precise and the matching photos helped clarify any questions I had. It was easy to adapt dimentions to my own needs. Just realizing I could use foam core rather than wood opened a door for me (I have no woodworking skills and always avoid sewing machines). I have made my first house and I am delighted that the items I had squirreled away in various boxes and drawers are now on display to memoralize my family tree. I am a multi-media artist so it was a joy to find a use for all the strange materials and unique items (that "spoke" to me) I had gathered over the years. I'd like to give a genuine thank you to the author. Lynne
