I love collecting little things... even more I love making shadow boxes with the little things. Sometimes I can't find everything I would like to put in a shadow box, so I make them! I wanted a birds nest and couldn't find one small enough. My Creative Paperclay® BIRD NEST with EGGS is the focal point.
Here is the finished nest!
To make the nests I took Creative Paperclay® and made long skinny noodles. Then laid them in a circular nest shape. The noodles are very delicate and were not adhered to each other. When they were dried I used Sakura Crystal Lacquer to hold them together.
Here is the nest and eggs in the center of the shadow box after they were painted with acrylic paint.
Here is one of the eggs balanced on a shoe from Monopoly sitting on a dollhouse chair.
In the back is a Creative Paperclay® heart cut with a mini cookie cutter, painted with burgundy acrylic paint.

Just think of the endless items you could create with Creative Paperclay® to add to your collection of little things to make a shadow box!
