About this eBook
Use souvenirs, keepsakes and everyday objects in your own brand of storytelling.
Objects of Reflection brings you a new form of visual journaling–that of assemblage–by creating art that is extremely personal and evokes your fondest memories. Inspiration pours from every page as author Annie Lockhart takes you on a journey inside of her own heart, sharing her stories for building pieces with tiny treasures and common objects. Specific elements of each project are displayed in a legend, detailing what each object symbolizes and will have you thinking about what similar objects might represent to you. In addition to providing insight on her own art-making process, Annie will guide you through her favorite step-by-step techniques for attaching elements with simple materials like string, wire and tape; aging objects to give them a bit of charm; adding texture with modeling paste and more. Dare to color outside the lines. Discover a new way to tell your own story and start using objects as "words" today.
You'll also receive insight on valuable lessons such as:
• Quieting your harsh inner critic
• Seeing the beauty in objects that are broken
• Looking at the things you love with new perspective
• Realizing art need not be permanent to be enjoyed
