Green shrine

 My surroundings are full of informal shrines, that get assembled on ledges and tabletops, sometimes containing the 4 elements, and they are never static but evolving.  They make me happy when I pass by or stop to consider what they convey.

This is a portable shrine I made  awhile back, looking at it again, hoping for some inspiration.  I call it the green shrine, or harmony shrine, after the dictionary snippet that is framed at the top.
I used a ready-made trifold wooden hinged piece and an old wood cigar box, and antique drawer.  The silver 'tin' frame is actually aluminum plumbers tape that I inscribed with stars and flowers and then rubbed black paint into it. The box, drawer and triptych were battered with a hammer and other tools and then painted to give it my favorite deep green malachite color. Silver hearts, crystals, coins, key, and a collaged optometrist lens were wired on to the shrine. There is room for a candle and a crystal dish with pink tourmalines in the drawer part of the shrine.
