anne_dThe Emily Dickinson Shrine. I'm absurdly pleased with the result. It actually came out about how I'd envisioned it.
The finished shrine is about 4¾" high, 4" wide, and 1¼" deep. I used a small wooden nicho shrine thing from Silvercrow Creations, white craft paint, clear satin varnish, an image copied and reduced from the Topps Baseball Emily Dickinson card and mounted on matboard, a lot of gold Dresden paper scraps and assorted other embellishments, various glues, and several poems and fragments of poems by Emily Dickinson as noted below.
So. The nicho, as purchased:
The baseball card, front and back:
"Whitewashed" (half and half white craft paint and water), with the image laid in place:
And the finished shrine, front. Text in front of the image "The soul selects her own society", "Emily Dickinson (1830-1886):
Side (sorry about the glare, the gold Dresden is really shiny):
Top. Text, first stanza of "Hope is the thing with feathers":
Back. Text: "I dwell in Possibility":
