Ghostie Shadowboxes

May 29, 2008 · Artsy (Mine)

I made these shadowboxes last week, and I've been meaning to share them here. They each contain a sweet, simple little ghost-print, and are an edition of 5 prints/assemblages:

Some_girls_2537_3

  The next update is going to be so good!

PS: Thank you, thank you for all of the Portland-home-help...please keep us in mind if you hear anything/see anything promising. Seriously, thank you so much for keeping an eye/ear out, from all three of us.

Gorgeous! That looks like a Martha shadowbox I was eyeing awhile back. I can't think of a better image to put against those wavy black edges than your cool ghost!

I just came across your blog and I absolutely love it and will be tuning in often. It is so excellent...the array of creations you make, I love that. Your toadstools look so nicely made. Thanks for all the inspiration and I'll be back most surely. P.S. Good Luck on the house hunting. Mandy Saile

Can't wait until the next update. I need to get my fingers moving fast in anticipation!

I picked up a bunch of those Martha Stewart frames at Michael's too. Such a great price for something with a lot of potential.

I wonder what it would look like if you printed that ghost on a piece of overhead transparency paper and laid it on a piece of a acrylic that you put on risers inside the box (so that it's floating in the shadow box).

Tiffany · May 29, 2008 at 01:45 PM

I love that frame...I bought several at Michael's and maybe one day I'll figure out what to do with them....
