Good Morning Ladies,
It is 7am and I am up this early to play in my room today. I have been decluttering and packing for weeks and our house is finally listed. We had our first showing yesterday. I have been having creativity withdrawl since the house saga began. I am very tempted to limit myself to today to come up with my February piece. I have no fabric selected, and no inkling of an idea, but I have been promised the day to work in my sanctuary and to destress, and that is exactly what I am going to do.
I got the new shadowbox for my January piece from my friend yesterday. It is 1" less deep than the first one and 1/4" less than 20" long. We had to remake it because my finished January piece shrank with the quilting. That was the new info I learned for that piece--I didn't know that Timtex would shrink up with stitching. I assumed that its thickness would prevent that. It doesn't. Good to know for the future since I use it alot. Anyway the piece now fits perfectly and I have to decide what hardware to attach to the back for hanging. I have never done a shadowbox piece before so I am not sure what will work best. Any ideas on the subject?
Well, it's time to grab a bit of nourishment and then up to the sanctuary for my day of creative endeavor.
How much does the shadowbox weigh? What is it made of? What is the depth of the back "wall" of the box? I have a small shadowbox with a glass front -- it has a "sawtooth" bracket on the back at the top (in the center). The box isn't hanging -- it's free-standing on a shelf. Don't know if that would work, or if you might need two of those -- one at each end.
