Ottawa Marathon Medal Shadow Box
A medal from the Ottawa Marathon is
showcased in this shadow box. The medal
is held in place with a piece of archival
clear polyester film (Melinex #516),
cut in the shape of the medal, with ‘legs’
passed through to the back of the matboard.
The Melinex appears almost invisible and
provides an effective, reversible, mounting
method. The ribbon is held in place with a
few strategic stitches, with the majority of
it hidden behind the back of the matboard.
A classic black shadow box moulding was paired with red suede mats and Tru Vue's conservation clear glass, which provides 99% UV protection.
