Happy Holidays to Everyone!!It is cold and it is snowing in Oregon. This IS news in this part of the country- rain we know, snow- not so much. Ice: we ALL HATE.
I was working on some Christmas presents, and was looking for
inspiration- I explored my book shelves and found one of my favorite books. “Crafting Personal SHRINES” by Carol Owen.The book is filled with full paged colored pictures and instructions, she also included a variety of artists shrines.
This is where I was first inspired for my “America’s House”. I had been exploring the idea of 3D display of rooms in a free form, and when I saw Nancy Hoerner’s picture of “Noreen’s Blue Habitat” everything fell into place and my little altered miniature was born.
The basic shrine shape is easy to make and adjust into an altered miniature vignette.
Carol Owen takes this shape, then takes it into an additional six designs for a total of seven shrines.
Not only are you inspired to make a shrine from “scratch”, but there are examples of shrines that are designed using pre-made items that can be recycled and given a second life as an art piece.
This would be great addition to your library, I was able to get it online thru Amazon.
