This old letterpress storage box came with a house we bought from an antiques collector. What fun to fill it with mementos and seal it with wax! I’ve worked on this piece for almost three years now, a little bit at a time, and I’m just thrilled with how it’s turned out.

7×7 grid shadowbox, each about 3″ square, of mixed media in encaustic. 24″ x 24″ x 2″ deep.
Original: Private collection.
