Morris' Internal Astronaut


This is a shadowbox I was lucky enough to find at a thrift store. Shadowboxes seem to be difficult to find in thrifts so I was happy to find a couple of these.
Morris' Internal Astronaut has a vintage astronomy page as the background with a nice bright planet to shine some light on the astronaut. The anatomical man running is from a vintage book as is the moon rocks piece glued onto the glass with a light layer of silicone. The rocket was found in a science book. The astronaut in the background is from an old vintage paperback. The radio tube is also vintage paper as is the spaceship in the lower right hand corner. The toy compass was found in a Dollar Tree store. I really enjoyed creating this piece and am happy that its new owner loves it so much.
