MY CURIOSITY SHADOW BOX....
CLICK ON PHOTO TO ENLARGE
I HAVE BEEN WANTING TO POST THESE PHOTOS OF OTHER PEOPLE'S CURIOSITY CABINETS BUT I NEEDED TO GATHER A MORE INTERESTING COLLECTION. I AM VERY EXCITED TO HAVE FOUND A FEW SITES THAT POST NOT ONLY CURIOSITIES BUT OTHER FORMS OF UNIQUE COLLECTIONS. GATHERING MANY THINGS ALONG THE WAY IS ONE OF MY MOST TREASURED THINGS TO DO AS THIS HAS BECOME AN ART FORM IN THE EYES OF MANY COLLECTORS. POPULAR DURING THE RENAISSANCE, PEOPLE WOULD BUILD A "CABINET OF CURIOSITIES" TO DISPLAY THEIR PRIVATE COLLECTIONS OF ODDITIES AND NATURAL OBJECTS LIKE BEACH FINDS, PLANTS, INSECTS, BIRD FEATHERS, TEETH, AND MINERALS. ENJOY THIS POST AND LET ME KNOW ABOUT YOUR CABINET OF CURIOSITY AND I WILL POST IT ON THIS BLOG FOR YOU. photo credits: henry varnum, cabinet magazine,country living mag.com, completely coastal, maissa touleu
