Shrine

I have always been intrigued by shrines.   I think it's because they appeal to my librarian sense of gathering and organizing.   After all, items on a particular theme are brought together to create a three dimensional object.   I had taken a course from Zinnia on how to make one "from scratch" and had painstakingly done so but that's about as far as I'd gotten.   The empty shrine had been hanging around in my cupboard for months.   As so often happens, a shrine exchange was posted on one of my groups so I jumped at the chance to give my piece some meaning.  The shrine for the group was to celebrate their 6th anniversary so I incorporated some sixes in the piece.   The rest is open for interpretation.
