Shrine


Shrine 1

I just love making shrines. And it took me such a long time to realise it! A week ago I took part in a shrine swap via a mail art group and I immediately had to start making it because it felt so inspiring. Here's the front cover of what I made. Yes, I love keys.

The background is acrylics and inkpads on chipboard, I gave it a bit of wash with water to make things blend a bit more. The keys are random embellishments and I also scattered around tiny old watch parts as well as few bits of iridescent glass. I think the glass is my own favourite here:)

Beautiful work, here! I also love your handspun yarn in the previous post.

Hugs,
