pocket shrine.

[slimmons.livejournal.com]

so this is my first shrine. the pictures are horrible because i own a $20 digital camera with no flash at the moment. the colors weren't picked up at all.

materials used: an altoid tin, paper mache, glitter, acrylics, confetti, sculpey clay, finger nail polish, paper, and a candle.

i made it for my friend whose cat just died. its name was little cat, so it is called the little cat shrine. it has a candle on the inside, a booklet on the bottom, and a picture on the inside lid. the cool thing about this shrine is the press button on the top. sour altoid tins have a pop open button on the top. very neat stuff. i'm pretty happy with it since it is my first attempt.





top and bottom w/ booklet open.


inside. top lid w/picture of the cat. bottom w/ a scented candle.





top and bottom w/ booklet closed. (it looks better in real life :/ )


trying to show the colors.


booklet. it says, "in memory of little cat" "for names" "a little cat shrine" and then it has a picture of the cat with the day it died underneath.


this is my try at taking the picture indoors to get it to pick up better. didn't work!


so that is it. it took me about 30minutes the first night (i had to let it dry over night) then about an hour fixing it up the next night.

ps. the booklet is actually red. that is how horrible my camera is. :( i really wish you could see the colors correctly on it because that is the prettiest part of the shrine.
