From the delicately articulated worlds of artist Joseph Cornell to simple collections of stones, twigs, and found objects from a child’s pocket, shadow boxes are ideal for creating miniature universes that capture our imagination.
This moss-lined box is the perfect way to bring a bit of nature into the home to inspire us throughout the seasons. The addition of seedpods, twigs, dried flowers and even an insect carcass causes us to look more closely at the world around us. It is also fun to line the box with copies of topographical maps, geologic surveys and stones, or botanical drawings and dried herbarium specimens.
