Bottle cap shrines are mixed-media creations that pay homage to a person, place, object, an important event or anything of significance to you and those you care about. Each shrine is a portable work of art that can be carried, worn, used as a magnet or displayed.
This art form has been around for a long time as folk art accessible to every age, financial class and most cultures. A shrine may have religious significance or may simply symbolize something loved. These shrines vary in style from a simple image painted or glued into the inside of a straightened out bottle cap found discarded in the street to elaborate creations of fine jewelry or wall art that have been custom cut or hammered and embellished with anything that shines.
These miniature shadow boxes conjure up unlimited possibilities for the imagination, inspiring everyone from crafters and pop jewelry lovers to the devoutly religious.
