Book Overview

Old notebooks, discarded postcards purchased from a flea market, sheaves of sheet music, yellowed newspapers with foreign language text: Anna Corba knows how to turn these vintage papers into fantastic contemporary fans, decorated glassware, party favors, and more. This up-and-coming designer presents her beautiful projects here, with detailed instructions, charming color photos, and tips to help imaginative crafters develop their own personal style. Her techniques for transforming the paper range from tea-dying to laying down a final layer of beeswax on a collage. Make collage bottles; embellish plain cardboard boxes with paint and vintage trading cards; or create decorative paper cones to hold flowers, small candy, or trinkets. With a sheet of paper, everything is possible.

Loved this book!

I couldn't be happier with this book! The projects within are definately for vintage lovers. Neat ways to use vintage paper ephemera, easy, clear instructions and supply list, with lots of tips. The pics are great too. I created several of the composition notebooks, covered with sheet music, and old pages from children's books, and they sold like hotcakes. Be prepared to be inspired and get creating!

Interesting projects , clear instruction and good sourcing ideas.

These are simple projects - you do not need any more instruction than you get , it's not rocket science. I love S. Evertson too , and own her books as well , but the pictures she provides are often already cut and altered , which is it's own set of problems. So is the re-sizing , at least for me! ( I don't think my printer likes me much.) (I'm also pretty sure it's not the same one she has.) I'm certainly not going to complain...

Fabulous book

I absolutely adored this book. There are many beautiful art project ideas with easy to follow instructions. Anna Corba also provides many vintage images in the back of the book that you may use to create these or other art projects. I have made many of the art projects and they came out better than I ever expected. This book is a MUST HAVE.... loved it.

A wonderful, lovely book!

After being inundated by dark "altered" arts lately, this book is a welcome reprieve from the grungy. It delivers unique, fresh, and LOVELY ideas for using vintage paper items. I will buy as many Anna Corba books as she publishes.
