Well, here I go. I have often thought of starting a blog, and day one of my winter break has offered me the opportunity to finally put my thought in motion.
Today I am going to highlight a little shrine I have made for one of my swap pals. Little does she know, but the recipient of this shrine is a true inspiration of mine. She really likes fairy tales, so this was my chosen theme. I can only hope she likes it.
I have never made a shrine on this scale prior to this project, it is made from a 250 count matchbox as the base.
The images used for the "door" of this shrine were found in a calendar. I loved the image of the window and I thought this added some shape, by extending beyond the boundaries of the matchbox. The keyhole was found in my stash, as was the vintage key I attached to the outside for movement. Amazingly, the little transfer was also discovered while rummaging through some stuff. I was so pleased that the perfect little decal presented itself at the perfect time!
