Michael Demeng "Mad Alchemist's Cabinet"

Here above is Michael DeMeng's "Mad Alchemist's Cabinet." Cool, huh? Click on the picture to see a larger picture and to appreciate the detail in this work.
Here above is the humble printer's tray that we each will start with in creating our own "Mad Alchemist's Cabinets." And here below are a few of my embellishments.

I am getting ready for Michael DeMeng's workshop at Random Arts in Saluda, NC, the "Mad Alchemist's Cabinet." This is just the tip of the iceburg of stuff I will be taking with me.
Let me know if you will be there and I will be on the lookout for you!

A few books that I think would be excellent preparation for this workshop are:
  • Secrets of Rusty Things: Transforming Found Objects into Art by Michael DeMeng
  • Altered Curiosities: Assemblage Techniques and Projects by Jane Ann Wynn
  • The Altered Object: Techniques, Projects, Inspiration by Terry Taylor

Can you suggest other books along these lines?

I love your collection of little bits and whatnots, Lynn. Can't wait to see your "Mad Alchemist's" creation. Enjoy Michael's workshop!
