“Spread the Love” by Karen Michel
Karen Michel is an artist I highly admire who is working with a heart theme. Her work is featured on the cover of January/February 2008 issue of Cloth Paper Scissors magazine, and she is the author of an instructional altered art book called “The Complete Guide to Altered Imagery“. I was delighted to find that she has a gallery on Flickr. I’m equally delighted that she has allowed me to share her art here.
My own recent inchies set was influenced by Karen’s heart collages. I didn’t discover her, though, until after I started this blog a year ago and I’m always amazed when I find other people working on the same wavelength that I am.

Hi Gretchen!
OMG, I just popped in and saw your guest artist and I am in fact reading her book on altered imagery. Her book is amazing. I usually bring it with me when I know I have to wait so I can have something cool and fun to read. People always ask me what the book is about (even my dentist and one of my surgeons). And you know how I love to share – I just bubble over with enthusiasm and deligt to do a show and tell. I haven’t finished the book yet, but I want to try every one of her techniques when I finish. I think it would be a great adventure. I am so glad I’m on your mailing list!
Hugs, Julie
