Shadow Box

When we got these shadow boxes damaged in transit, I told Ralna I could do something with one so I painted it blue and then put some black crackle paint on it. I sandpapered it and then put some memorabilia in it. I have so many letters from my ancestors in Germany that were written before, during and after WWII. They were written with the kind of pen that I included in the box which I found in my grandparents things. I included some photos and lace. I now have my father's father's memorabilia in a shadow box and my mother's mother's in one. Luckily they are done in similar colors so they should look good on a wall together.
