Best Answer

A shadowbox is an excellent way of displaying memorabilia. While a shadowbox can be made from just about anything, they are classically made from a dark wood with a glass sheet and a black interior. An easy way to make them is to take four lengths of pine 1x4 cut to the desired length and fasten them together forming the box and stain or paint the wood as desired. Next affix a back made of anything from a thin fiberboard to even a piece of cardboard and line the inside of the box with a velvety material. Affix the items you wish to display inside the box and place a sheet of glass over the top opening. The glass should be cut to 1/4 inch smaller than the exterior measurement of the box. Center the glass on the box and carefully tack on thin facing board, such as a quarter round or any finishing board.

What is the difference of shaded drawing from shadow drawing?

The same as the difference as "stick figures" is to "sticks." "Shadow drawing" is, literally, drawing shadows. I can draw the shadow of a star, and it will look like a black, blurry star. "Shaded drawing" is something that you have drawn and shaded. You can draw a box, and then shade the box. <--a shaded drawing You can draw a shadow. <--a drawn shadow (shadow drawing)
