Enshrined--The Nitty Gritty

So now that you've seen my shrine in Monday's post, I thought I'd show you the details that I included.  This was the fun part for me, as I considered the shrine a "blank canvas" waiting to be embellished.

Here's detail of the window on the cover...I've used copper sheet metal around the edges of the window, copper beads and embossed and painted metal.


The inside of the flap that closes the shrine also has embossed, painted metal as well as buttons and a large bead wired onto it for the closure.


I've affixed a copper bead and beaded necklace to the Egyptian figure on the inside of the cover, to add some dimension to the images.


Finally, on the inside box of the shrine, I've used copper wire and glass beads around the upper and lower edges, hung a beautiful metal goddess...


and embellished the moon image, of course!


And there you have it!  Hope you've enjoyed the tour!

Ciao for now,

Deborah
