Shadowboxes

My buddy Erin posted some photos of a shadowbox she had made on her blog "A Fly in My Mint Julep" recently. When I commented on her creation, she mentioned in passing that she would be interested to see what I have done with those things. So here you go E. Let me break them down real quick. If I find little toys and things that I think are cool I'll save them. After a period of time I had a box full of 'cool shit' and shadowboxing them was a cool way to display the objects. That one at top with the cat head contains all sorts of crap. A creepy doll I found by my car at Mardi Gras a few years back, snake I caught at that same parade, the cat head came from one of the VooDoo shops, the knife was my first pocket knife from when I was a kid, the wind-up eye I bought years ago at "The Nature Company", etc., etc. the second one has a VooDoo doll at its center and then just all sorts of random stuff around it. The last one sits on top of our "Skull Shelf." That was a great way to display a lot of the little skulls and toys. So there you have it. Always fun to make those things. I like turning them into little shrines or reliquaries.
