This is the first shadow box I've made. It's not too bad but I think it could do with a bit more in it.
Also, the reflection on the glass spoils the look of it, I don't know how to stop this so the next one I make I'll take the picture before I put the glass into the frame. The whole thing, frame included measures 8 1/2 inches high, 10 1/2 inches wide and 3 1/2 inches deep. It was fun to make and I'll enjoy looking at it. In my shed there are lots more miniature items I want to use for scenes like this, it seems such a waste to just have them put away.

Hi Ann that looks fabulous!Did you make the frame also?They would make lovely personalised gifts too.You are always busy creating something either indoors or out!
Great Job! I've always wanted to make a shadow box for a little grasshopper I got white traveling. A craftsman took a piece of long grass and folded it up in such a way that it made a grasshopper. Now, 10 years later i still have it, all perfectly preserved. A shadow box would make the perfect home for it,
Well done...don't get the bug you will find you will be making many many more if you do...they are adictive. Thank you for your birthday wishes.

So pretty. I like it just the way it is... not overdone. I love the simple scene of a sewing room. I can imagine it will make you smile every time you see it! : ) Melissa
