Close-up of shadow box

We bought a worklight (green - sturdy tri-pod) from Home Depot. We removed the worklight and mounted a peice of plywood on top. Then the shadow box, made of pvc and plywood, sits on top. Every great once in a while I remove the box and put my computer up there - when I want to paint from a photo. The dimensions of the box can be just about anything, but mine is around 2' cubed. It's a little wider than it is deep, but not by much. To attach the plywood to the box we used quick ties - as seen below.


Over the box I put a white sheet (allows the light to bounce around inside, lightening up the shadows a bit) and a dark cloth over that (so the other light in the room doesn't get inside). This allows me to almost completely control the light on my setup. Some does get in from the front, but so far it's been ok.

  4. I love this too - but I have to devise a way to construct it using only rubber cement, exact-o blade and a can opener - no one will let me borrow a chain saw, or whatever it would be I would need to make this.

  5. I really love seeing your new studio come together, Carol!! My husband and I purchased a small camp adjacent to our home last year (we're lakefront, too!), and our plans is to convert the 2-bedroom structure into my own office and studio.

    Seeing your progress is really inspiring!! Now it's making me want to move into mine right away!! :)
