My dad died of Covid 19 complications in Oct of 2022. He was a mason, and his career was an integral part of his life. I wanted to have something all of us siblings would cherish. So I made 3 of them! I wanted to use shadow boxes that I already had, or make the shadowbox.
I made this one for my brother. I used the base of an old dollhouse to make the shadow box. The dollhouse was free, and home made. The wood base was wood that had a router lines to make to look like large bricks.
I glued it to a base, and painted it with paint, sand, and glue mixture.
Then I started trying out lots of layout configurations.
Deciding is the hardest part.
The base is covered in blue material. The items are tied down withfishing line.
The finished shadow box.
My shadow box is an old serving tray.
The base was sanded to make it more level.
I lined it with a piece of foam board.
I covered it with this rubber sheet of a mini brick wall.
Trying out various layouts.
The first one I made was for my sister.
The final layout.
A few ornaments I wood burned and painted to remember my dad.
