Shadow Box, Diorama, Memory Box, Altar, Tribute Box..... Frida Kahlo

di·o·ram·a/ˌdīəˈramə/

Noun:

A model representing a scene with three-dimensional figures, either in miniature or as a large-scale museum exhibit.

A shadow box is an enclosed case used in dioramas with a scene or object(s) that has been specially designed to let light pass through from only one angle, so that objects within are less susceptible to damage from light.

No matter what you call it they are FUN FUN FUN to make and have a huge impact once completed. A story in a box! They make great personalized gift to celebrate an occassion, person in your life, pet or a memorial for a dearly departed. This new creation was inspired by my trip to Mexico and visit to Frida Kahlo's house.. La Casa Azul (the blue house). The very first step into the house was inspiring, a wonderful energy engulfs the air and space. The blue bounces off the sky like a ray of light as you sit in the open center and enjoy the many plants and sculptures. As i embraced and took in every inch of the house i was inspired and blown away by the history, determination and fight of Frida Kahlo. Her passion to express herself through art tells a story of a true warrior a goddess in every sense of the word.                                                       

So what are you waiting for? get to creating!!! do you have a favorite someone to commemorate? a theme to your home? a loved one to give a hand crafted unique gift to? No need to be a "professional artist" to be creative and inspired... everyone is born an artist!! now get your ChaCha self out the door and into the craft store for some supplies and inspiration!!!


Shadow box designs By Mia....

Happy crafting and remember... keep it FUN!!!
