Putting together some shadow boxes with three of my favorite patterns for Christmas gifts; Catskill wet, Ausable Wulff and the Little Black. I’ve got a few ideas for the labels but am open to suggestions if anyone has some.

I'd go with a handwritten signature for each on tanish paper that had burned or say singed edges. That would complement the frame shown here. That would give it a dated or antique look. Just a thought.

I was thinking of something similar, asking my wife to do the scribing, as her handwriting is far nicer than mine. Hadn’t thought about singeing the edges, though, great idea!

Hey--long time no see! I'm your long-lost friend from grade school and wishing for framed shadow boxes of flies this year!

Seriously, wonderful gift thought for deserving friends or family. I have no suggestion but do think Hellmtflies idea is a great touch.

Ha! For a second, you had me going Danny!

All the best to you, my friend ;)

Here’s the finished product. My wife did the script on some craft wood and I singed the edges - thanks for the idea Hellmtflies. I’ve got family who don’t fly fish but appreciate the craft. These should bring some smiles. Merry Christmas everyone!
