I was assigned Day 5. I made these little shadowboxes out of Brie cheese balsa wood containers. I have quite a stash of these (we like Brie!) and decided to use them.
I first painted both inside and out with black gesso and then covered with a sparkly "varnish." I added the mini ball fringe around the lip and glued on a black and white diamond-patterned ribbon around the outside edge. The moon was cut from yellow glitter paper and I found the two little girl images online and sized them appropriately and glued together. I embellished them a little with colored pencil. They are raised from the background on several pieces of corrugated cardboard. The finishing touch is the moss, berries and tiny pumpkin glued to the foreground. A loop could be added to the back for hanging or this could be displayed on an easel (my preferred method of display).
I hope everyone enjoys them.
