Shadowboxing

I love shadowboxes though, unfortunately, I don't own any. I've been meaning for years to try and create one of my own - still haven't done it. Although, in a way, my whole house is my own, very personal shadow box. Lots of crafters do shadow boxes on various and sundry topics, but very few (in my humble opinion) qualify as artists.

When it comes to Shadow Boxes As Art, there's no one better than Tracy W. Hambley. I first saw her boxes in Mary Englebreit's magazine years ago and I've never forgotten them. See what you think, here's Tracy's blog.

Wouldn't it be great to have a box designed around some sort of central literary topic? A scene from a favorite book? A favorite reading genre? A favorite author? A favorite book cover? The mind wanders, but you get the gist of what I'm saying - right? It would be a very cool thing.

Here are some topics off the top of my head: Agatha Christie, Harry Potter, Alice in Wonderland, Nancy Drew, your favorite vampire novel...see where I'm going with this?
