When I was young, the three of us siblings each received a shadow box made of wood with a sliding glass front. I don't remember my brother's boxes, but mine had a gold velvet backing. (Yes, it was the '70's). It was so much fun to fill it with the oddities that you come across as a child: an agate, shells, coins, antique little bell and tiny doll. And the curiosities changed every so often. It's a fun way to display the small souvenirs one finds along the way. Thanks for sharing.
That's so cool! Ah! The 70s, if ever there was a time for velvet! :D That's such a cool memory and sounds like a lot of fun changing over the display as new things are found! A wee living display! :D Thank you so much! best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Love the shadow box! Nicole the painstaking time and patience you took to place the pieces in just the right place. Thank you for my moment of peace. It helps so much. 🦋
Nicole what an excellent Cabinet of Curiosities. I loved how you chose all of the items to go inside and they were all of the things that you and Craig have found when you were mudlarking. I really needed the minutes of peace after a really busy day. Thank you for a great video 🇦🇺❤️🐨 xxx
Thank you so much! We had a lot of fun picking up wee bits and remembering about the old cabinets - so glad you enjoyed it! :D We'll be sure to keep the peaceful moments coming - its been one of those weeks where we could use a few more minutes! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Liebe Nicole und Craig, Es ist so schön Dir zuzusehen, mit wieviel Herzblut dieses Kästchen erstellt und bestückt hast. Sehr apart, so kommen die lieb gewonnenen Dinge gut zur Geltung. Danke für die ruhigen entspannten Minuten. Lg Jette
Danke Dir liebe Jette :) Ich werde noch eine plexifront in den Rahmen machen und dann koennen wir unser Kunstwerk im Wohnzimmer bewundern - und die kleinen Schaetze mit blu tac festmachen! xo
That was so useful seeing how to make the background and divisions, I have a shadow box sitting here right now but was unsure how to start. Yours is inspiring me to get mine done before I have to clean the dust out of it !
Yes indeed! All the little oddities that can't quite find a home - the cabinet has a wee place for them :D Thank you so much! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
So glad you liked it! It really is amazing - we enjoyed finding creepy images and were really pleased it came out as well as this! :D Thank you so much, best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Awesome idea, it turned out amazing, well done. Thank you for the relaxation section too, awesomeness. Take care and stay safe and well, see you next weekend 👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰💖💖💖💖🌼🌼🌼
Curiouser and curiouser...down the Rabbit hole and through the Keyhole you drift. Faeries beckon you on while soft melancholic chords guide the way. How enchanting. 😌 Well done Nicole.
I was recently given an old pink 'cosmetics advent calendar' and wasn't sure what to do with it. Now I know I will be doing what you have done because it looks wonderful! Many thanks for the inspiration Nicole 😀 x
Yay!! Its a lot of fun and can be as creepy, or not at all creepy as you like! Great use to that old advent calendar! Many thanks! Best wishes, Nicole & Craig xo
Very well done!. Your CABINET of CURIOSITIES is outstanding. Absolutely gorgeous. I hope you have an eventful mudlark this the first week of November. Greetings from the U.S.A.
Hi Nicole and Craig, Yay! I'm the first commenter. 😅 Really love the curiosity box! Love all the the little finds in there. To bad the seagull skull was way to big.😁 My compliments for the music, that was really fitting with the images. Wishing you a wonderful week! Big hug and lots of love, xoxo ❤, Ilona
Hi Ilona... We're so slow this week! So sorry for the late reply to your first comment! :D So glad you liked the project - its a lot of fun - but yes, the seagull skull would have been perfect for this! :D Best wishes, Nicole & Craig Lots of love to you and yours! Hugs!! :D xo
