Gnome Homes diorama-shadow box-assemblage art-mixed media - one of a kind
 
This 11.5 x 8 x 1" box started as unfinished wood that I stained, then distressed, and painted a light gray beige. Small haind-painted gnome doors are embedded inside various shades of moss and fake rocks. The tiny gnomes and their forest friends are drying their laundry. Small windows sit atop the doors with a bird and plants on their sills. Miniature dragonflies and butterflies roam within and the backdrop is a scrapbook journal picture of woods. Other details can be found as well and it's topped off with a glass green drawer pull, which is not to be used to pull the picture, although it is tightly affixed. 
 
This piece is handmade and one of a kind. There may be small imperfections, which is consistent with vintage and handmade items. Each box is made carefully with love and hopefully, will make you smile. 
 
My shadowbox pieces are eclectic and made from combinations of used and found objects, vintage items, and store purchased finds. I try to upcycle with various pieces when allowable and mix them with modern pieces for a diverse and unique assemblage. This piece can be hung with the sawtooth hanger on back, but can stand upright all on its own. I've tried to capture the details in photos so please, look very carefully before purchasing.
 
This item is for home decoration only and is not a toy.
It is not intended for small children.
The items inside are not removable. They are glued in with very strong-bonding glue. 
Please do not pull on objects, as they can be removed with enough force.
