Finished! Hollow Knight Queen's Garden shadow box ✨️

I had memories of really struggling with the first version of this box, but making it again, it felt easy and enjoyable. Could it be that I've improved 🤔

All layers done ✨️
The dualliste is a bit too wobbly with all layers spaced out (more than Lune, surprisingly), I'll need to glue his sword against something to keep him steady. Other than that, very pleased with this!

Ok this is fully delightful - Hans Christian Anderson loved to entertain people while telling his stories by simultaneously hand-cutting decorative paper art

persephonebooks.co.uk/blogs/the-pe...
a square piece of pale cream paper on a green background which has been charmingly hand-cut out to show dancing people, feathers, small mushrooms and smiling faces. Sadly some of the dancing men have 'chinese' hats on, which the artist must not have realized was racist. The style is turn of the 19-20th century.
