Finished my first zelda art project. It's an 8.5 x 11 wooden shadowbox that I stained and imprinted with a painting i found on google images. The stain I used is Black Cherry

Thanks. it's not perfect. I got a little overzealous in the cleaning process after the imprint, there's a few white marks that didn't have to be there but overall i'm very pleased with how it turned out

It's surprisingly easy to do. If you are serious.

An unfinished shadowbox was like $12 on amazon (no glass on mine) Wood Stain of your choice

Mod Podge (sealant / glue used to transfer the image to the wood)

White'ish paint to coat the area for the image prior to imprint (not required but if you don't put a white base coat down all the "white" spots in image will be wood colored not white. Image will be a bit harder to make out

Then some sort of clearcoat for the final step to make everything shiny and last longer

And of course the image printed out (laser printer or laser copier from somewhere like officemax) on normal paper NOT photopaper

instructions below that i followed: http://blog.consumercrafts.com/decor-home/photo-to-wood-transfer/

Excuse my ignorance, what is the purpose of a shadowbox?

It's just to hang on a wall like a picture frame. or put somewhere on a desk etc to sit there and look pretty. :)
