The kit includes reproductions of 100 intriguing vintage postcards from 1900 to the 1960s, featuring places, people, and objects that invite playful tampering, plus 5 sticker sheets and 5 patterned paper sheets for collage. The accompanying 64-page full-color booklet is a hands-on guide to materials, techniques, tips, and step-by-step examples showing a range of methods using painting, embroidery, and layered collage. A gallery of artist-made altered postcards offers additional inspiration and ideas for pushing the envelope on creativity.
