Sailor's Hope, a mixed media shadowbox has just been created. Its inspiration began with the old Tobacco Tin. It is composed of metal, wire, wood, shells, glass, etc..The silver crocheted bag sets an interesting background. Colors of red, yellow, and blue in the foreground of the box reflect the tin painting. A miniature mirror pane with a lighthouse etched on it is on the left side panel. A ship-in-a-bottle is appropo. The woman holds binoculars. I have highlighted that mood with an attached prism monocular, which one can pick up and use to see all the details in multiples. The red umbrella is made from a cone-shaped wire gizmo & lid that was detached to hold the monocular. The umbrella is filled with red spun glass.
