Making Shadow Boxes and Shrines

This book offers ideas for 32 shrines and shadow boxes with themes ranging from personal expression to memory-keeping to historical tributes and celebrations. There is also a gallery of 10 more professionally designed works and tips for collecting the right materials for this type of creation.
