The challenge at Gothic Arches until December 6th is to create a shrine using a gothic arch in the assemblage of it. I made this little shrine using the bottom of a cigar box which was painted for a shabby look. The background has an ephemera print of vintage eggs. My arch uses an image from Lisa’s Altered Art. Torn book text strips and a egg were added to the bottom of the box. The sides have been decorated with ribbon and vintage buttons.
Can’t wait to see what everyone creates during this two week challenge!
That is so cute!
OMG Nancy your shrine is really unique. Absolutely gorgeous. Love them.
Hi Nancy,
