craftgrrl | Shrine boxes and collages are fun (Reply)

X-posted in my own journal and Craftgrrl:

I have been stage-managing a local production of Harvey and the director is extremely artistic, so I decided to make a collage shrine box for him as a thank you for letting me work with him. He had just made a collage of photos of the cast and crew interspersed with pictures of various types of rabbits(there is a white, invisible rabbit in the play)and it came out fabulously.

This inspired me to make something for him. It, too came out really well. I took a small, wig box and decoupaged the inside of it with definitions of pookas and various papers, added letter blocks spelling out Harvey,added various rabbit toys and a rabbit candle holder complete with candles, hot glued all that together(had cut part of the box apart and set the base of the box on the lid which then became the shrine base) along with gold rick rack, strings of sequins,glass blobbies and a collaged cut-out of a rabbit to go into the recessed area. The collaged rabbit had photos of the actor playing the lead role of Elwood P. Dowd in our production, small, magazine pictures of women in period dress(1950's),a magazine photo of Jimmy Stewart as Dowd in the film Harvey, and various other phrases from the play. It was so much fun.

Okay, I am not really doing it justice. I have no scanner or digital camera, but somehow I have to remember to take photos of it, and then somehow post them on here later.
