My father grew up in Ireland and I wanted to make a small shadow box from a photo I had of the cottage for our latest grandson. A lot of fun to make for a shadow box and to work out the odd angle to show the side of the house viewed in the photo I had from 1948, as well as a rendition of the front of the house. Thatch roofing is made of upholstery thread layered and then covered in caulking. The walls are foam core. It's a memory for the wall and sent with love.
