This is such a fascinating book! ''In This House'' is a book showcasing altered artwork from many artists in the form of a house - a paper house that opens like a book or stands accordion style. This is such a unique way of expressing thoughts, feelings, desires and dreams. There are 12 houses featured in the book which make up the 'neighbourhood.' Each house is based on a different theme and each is very thought provoking, you really feel as if you are getting a glimpse inside the artist's thoughts and dreams. This is more than a craft book, in the way that it really makes you explore what 'home' means to you. As well as being very soul-searching this book is a visual treat, it incorporates many medias such as paints, stamps, pastels, fabrics, even pieces of ripped up lino. The book shows you how to make photo mosaics, how to use multifaceted gesso and how to create mystery with layering and glazing. It makes you think 'wow, why didn't I think of that?'
