@dmasonwest said: I was about to send this to you because it looked so much like you, then, wow, it is you?!?! Haha. You have a well defined voice, Brittanie Loren, and I like it. Since many of the objects you like are small pretty things, have you considered making Cornell boxes?
Whoa wait, when I checked wikiP for Cornell boxes they give me something associated with computer graphics. Standby.
WikiP prefers the term Shadow Box, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_box but the article on Joseph Cornell is much more informative https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Cornell There are shadow boxes, then there are the shadow boxes Cornell made. Cornell boxes.

@dmasonwest No worries Mason, I got it! :) Woah I don’t know how I’ve never heard of this guy! I’ve seen shadow boxes of course, but never heard of him. Exactly the sort of artist I love. <3 <3 Thanks for telling me about him! That’s actually a really great point though, I’d never thought about using some of the little things I collect in art. I’ve made ugly little sculptures with stuffed animals for art class, but other than that and drawings, I’ve never really incorporated the cutesy cartoony brightly colored stuff into my art too much. My art has always been really muted and moody more than cutesy... But hmm, I’m actually getting a lot of ideas from thinking about this! I’ll definitely have to explore that some more. I’m really into found art, discarded things and ephemera being incorporated into collages and such. A shadow box would be great for bigger three dimensional objects that I can’t use in a paper/canvas based collage... :)) Thanks for the ideas!!! <3 I really need to get back into making big messy art pieces, but my little room feels so cramped! Maybe in the future I’ll have a big art studio again...
