Altered Frame DOD Style

If you're new to altering, what exactly is "altered art"? I like this explanation: " the transformation or 'alteration' of ordinary, everyday objects into decorative pieces using a wide variety of different techniques and materials, for example, rubber stamps, fabric, paper, paint and fibres."

I LOVE the example of an altered frame in the picture above and hope it inspires you to try something new in a dia de los muertos style!

FUN STUFF: Alter a picture frame from the dollar/thrift store or one you have on hand for your partner. There is no size restriction. Sender's choice to one partner. You can include a DOD image in your creation or leave the picture area blank for the recipient to choose their own.

NOT SO FUN STUFF: Send timely and rate fairly please! Do your best work:) Due to postal concerns, this is USA/Canada only...sorry!
