So, I've been getting into a shadow box thing.....

This is 12 X 16. It includes an original colored pencil drawing in the upper middle section. That was the first thing I did. Then I manipulated a print of the drawing on the computer, cut out an oval to reveal a shell. The tall panel on the right has a piece of an upholstery swatch with added beads. There are small chicken eggs, a deer bone, calligraphy done with a stick on velum. The flowers, done in watercolor on watercolor paper, are cut out and mimic the design in the fabric behind it. The grassy stuff in front of the figure is painted palm inflorescence stuck in holes drilled in the wood shelf. The bone is suspended from a hammered and painted eye hook with yarn and beads. The print if the tree sticks out, you can't really see that.

This was SO MUCH FUN!! And just the beginning. There will be more! I'm on a roll........
