This shadowbox was so fun to make! I used a Tim Holtz book-style configurations shadow box for the base and painted it white. I added various papers to it, collaged on the front, and filled the boxes with all sorts of sewing goodies and ephemera. Love it! And I love making these--very fun, although they take time do make. I just kept a side of my work table reserved for it and everytime I went into my craft room I did something to add to it. Plus, I had a good search through all my "stuff" to find just what I needed for each compartment. I have been collecting sewing stamps and sewing themed scrapbook embellishments for years. This was just the project to showcase them.
Sewing was always such a part of my life--and still is. My mother and grandmother sewed all our clothes growing up. I sewed for myself, my husband and my son, and made all his Halloween outfits. I later made quilts by the dozens and did countless needlework projects. I have lately been making little felt stuffies as gifts for the Children's Church on birthdays.
I don't know what I will do with this creation, but right now I think it looks just fine on my dresser. Below is the front of the box.
