The Shrine from Small Studio Productions



I tried to get some pictures of the Shrine from Small Studio Productions today. Mother Nature is not cooperating much....no sun...but the snow on the ground seemed to help reflect some light! The clock, Tim's Game Spinners and Brads are from SSP, too. The butterfly is a piece of Tim's Grungeboard...of course.

This is the front. The shrine is painted black with acrylic paint and the papers from Graphic 45 are added before it's glued together. Every piece is inked with Distress Inks to add the depth and warmth. That's just my opinion.




This is the inside of the shrine....just papers, inks, and glue. I LOVE these papers!!!!!!!!!!



And the back. More papers, ink and glue. These papers stand alone in beauty and need nothing more to create something memorable.


Let me know what you think!!!!

I don't usually say the g word or the l word, left over from my upbringing. Those are words saved for when you really need them. But now, I feel the great urge to say both "oh my God" and "oh my Lord-y"! Linda, this is so very beautiful. I mean b-e-a-utiful! Just amazing! Your craftsmanship and your eye for leading the eye is just exquisite! Loooovvvvvvveeeeessssss loves it!
