There is, in some cases, something to be said for doing things halfway. Example: I'm much more motivated to buy some big, shapeless, unflattering garment at the thrift store and alter it into something cool than I am to undertake a possibly daunting sewing project completely from scratch. The same goes for artwork—I'm way too self-conscious about "not being an artist" to think seriously about, say, painting something to hang on my walls, but I can definitely get behind tweaking some junk art and making it a little more special. Not that I fancy myself a Tony Shafrazi for the '00s, but it can be kinda fun to "deface" a traditional piece. Glue, glitter, beads, paint—all are fair game for making over flea market art.
