Storytime Christmas Diorama - fairytale shadowbox - upcycled vintage Christmas ornaments art.
 
The dimensions of this box are 12 x 3 x 2". I gave the box a walnut stain, provided a distressed medium and then painted it a metallic shade of frosty sky blue-gray. 
 
Inside the box are several small vintage hand-painted Christmas ornaments. A constellation of half moons and stars line the top in the background. A little storybook page is opened in the beginning of this tale. A bell and a present sit in front of the book. A tar top fella sits within his sleigh as he is leading his reindeer to the well for water before he delivers his wrapped gift. A snowman watches him from afar. Another little guy is behind him yelling "wait for me" with his Christmas tree in hand to add as a gift to be delivered. He passes a small frosted evergreen tree. At the end sits the last page of the storybook with another tiny character hiding behind it. 
 
The story itself is whatever you make it to be.
 
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. Sometimes, I don't see strands of glue left behind right away but, if it's there, it's no big deal to tweeze it off. This box sits freestanding. There is no hanger on back.
 
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. 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.
