I”m working on the first of two shadowbox mashups. The first one is Alice in OZ. It’s images cut from cardstock from two paper sets – The Wizard of Oz and Alice in Wonderland. It features Alice and other cutouts from one paper set mixed in with images from thee Wizard of Oz set.

The layers are attached to transparency film so I can rearrange them to get the effect I want. Each film layer is attached at the corners with foam tape to provide depth to the finished project. The images are attached to the film with tape as well so i can re-arrange each element to get a balanced image.

The background of this one is a cropped image of the wizard in a balloon leaving Oz. The good witch, the lion, and poppies appear in different layers. The other characters are from the Alice paper set. There may be a scarecrow added in the next arrangement. A picture of the finished shadowbox will be published later.

The Dorothy in Wonderland shadowbox will have Dorothy and other characters from the Oz paper set intermixed with characters and images from the Wonderland set. I used these papers before to create tunnel books that were for sale at a craft show.
