Tips for Creating Balance with Shadowbox Frames

Video Transcript

"You want to take a look at your pieces and set them out where you are going to be putting them inside your shadowbox. This one gives you a good balance feel everything is kind of each corner has it's own little thing going on. There is a little bit going on in the middle and on each side so therefore it doesn't feel heavy to one side or the other. Where if you get to many things in there, it starts to become very busy. If you add the wrong things in there, it becomes very busy. So you have to think about what you are putting in there, is the relationship to each one somewhere in the thought. That was all about cats in memory of so we used a cats collar, we used the cats pictures and we used things that would relate the cats. Whereas, I chose these three pieces. They are all antiques but they have nothing in relation to each other. This is in the kitchen, this can be in the bedroom or some place else but you want to think about the relationship of the pieces that you are putting in there. You want to give yourself some balance."
