Have you been shopping on Zinnia’s website, come across a nicho box and wondered, what on earth is a nicho box? If you have, you are not alone. Let us explain. A nicho box, or simply ‘nicho’, is a three-dimensional or recessed display box, much in the spirit of a shadow box, used as a portable shrine to an important figure or loved one.
Remember me nichos are a beautiful way to honor and remember loved ones who have passed away. These decorative nichos are traditionally adorned with colorful papel picado, marigolds, candles, and photographs of the deceased. Celebrate the memory of your loved ones with a one-of-a-kind Day of the Dead nicho inspired by papel picado. Nicho Design is copyright by: Bones & Cobwebs ©2021 Crafted with 1/8" Birch Plywood * Nicho comes assembled or unassembled. * Overall Measurements: 7.65” x 3.75” x 2” * Inside Box: 5” H x 3.50“ W x 1.75” D * Doors Open & Close Our product comes sanded and unfinished, ready for your creative touch. You can paint, stain or add embellishments to make it truly your own. To Assemble Lay out your pieces on a flat surface and identify the back, sides, top, bottom with feet, skull design top and front with doors. Begin by gluing the sides to the back, then move on to the top and bottom, followed by the front piece with doors. Use trigger clamps to hold everything together, ensuring a snug fit. Once it dries, remove the clamps and finish off by gluing the feet and the top skull design. Use masking tape to hold things together until dry, then remove to paint. Proudly made in the USA. 😊 Unique, detailed wood blanks designed by Flo 🔅 Wood may have wood patches, natural dents and burn marks.

A highly unusual antique wood box from Italy, with hand-carved trim molding and a handpinted ikat motif. Beautiful pastel shades of pink, green, navy and ochre yellow are seen in this exotic pattern reminiscent of traditional ikat, apparently hand-painted on canvas then pasted on the wood surface. The effect is bold, graphic and gorgeous! This unexpected motif is contrasted with the traditional Italian wood carving at the edge trim. The interior is in beautiful condition, with the lid lined with fabric and overall very clean. Fitted with a new chain to stabilize when opened. The box is quite sizable, and may be used as tabletop storage for odds and ends. This wonderful box was acquired, together with another fantastic scarole box, in Italy. The storage boxes were used to keep candles in a monastery.
We made Kim Welling Inspired Shadow Boxes in our children's art studio in Charlotte, NC. They are the perfect mix of 3d art and illustration. Come see!
Topic 7: Niches Hi everyone, Wow, what an amazing week of #3UP that was to close the first semester of the year! The blog has been inspiring so many people so far in 2015, and we hop that as we move into another season, you continue to take time for yourself to enjoy the creative process. The more we make and play, the more we learn! Before we start the new topic, here is Gillian to announce the challenge winner for the final topic of the lat semester, Topic 6: Grunge Paste Hi everyone, Gillian here. Not just 2 but 3 weeks of amazing projects, hope you loved our 3 up week and round up. Once again you rose the to challenge, in this case texture paste.. and oh wow we had texture upon texture upon texture. Be still my beating heart. Thankyou for all your entries, so inspiring..

Ruth from A Love To Create To claim your £50 voucher, please email me, Darcy with your details to [email protected] and I'll explain how you claim your prize. Thanks Gillian for drawing the prize winner, and well done to our latest winner Ruth. so....it's Leandra back for the rest of this post to chat some more about possible 'Niche' ideas with you. Topic 7 of 2015 is niches. Sorry, no video this week, life just got too crazy getting ready for Ally Pally AND Version Scrap. But I do have some scrummy pictures instead! When I first started moving on from cards and embossing into creating dimensional art, Altered Books was the thing to get stuck into. At that time, the fist thing I wanted to do was make a niche in an old book, but since then, I have realised there are so many other types of niches that are also possible. I wonder what you might do! I have been keeping a Niche Board on Pinterest, so do take a look there, I have only got a smattering of the samples from there featured here, but Pinterest have so many great ideas to whet your appetite. Jewellery is a great place to start if you want to do mini niches, ...bezels offer lots of fun...with ice resin of course! Tins offer all kinds of options... ...book in a box perhaps?? ...altoid tins often can be found re-purposed, I like this orientation But you can see niches in all kinds of objects ...you can even buy them ready to decorate or create them yourself from all sorts of things! or keep it really simple ...like this matchbox ...or perhaps you feel a spring decorating mission coming on... fancy arranging some niche shelves?? ...a box niche forms the body here and here looks a similar box with a different vibe And finally a trio of niches. All the niches pictured in this post are featured on my Pinterest page, so if you want to see where they came from, go there and follow the links. So, go on, dig out something with a bit of depth to it, and see what you can do to it! Have a great week. ~Leandra We would love you to join in with challenge #7: Niches.

The challenge is a chance for you to show how you have been inspired by a particular technique of the fortnight. Your entry should contain: - a mention of which post inspired you and why, and - a link in your blog post to that original post on the PA blog. The whole concept of this challenge is 'play along with us'. You are encouraged to put your own twist on ideas you see on our blog, don't feel obliged to copy an idea exactly, but if you prefer to replicate, of course that is fine too.

Hey everyone! I'm back to share another one of the nichos I've created recently. I've been busy creating, posting to FB and Etsy but have fallen behind sharing here. So I apologize for the blogging delay. This beautiful little shrine reminds me of a cross between a mission and a window. Hope just seemed to be perfect for this shrine. I'm using Ranger's Patina line to paint my shrines. The paint goes on great and I'm able to use acrylics on top of it with no problem. Doodling just seemed like the way to go on this one. I added some bling and jewelry findings from my stash to finish it off. The beautiful broach up top is a vintage find from a local flea market. This gorgeous shine is available for purchase on Etsy. Thanks so much for stopping by & have a beautiful day!!!
