Care, longevity, and placement tips

• Dust cardboard parts with a soft brush; wipe wooden, aluminum, or plastic with a damp cloth and mild detergent.
• Avoid outdoor hanging and direct sunlight to reduce fading and distortion; the red tones may fade more quickly than blues in some designs.
• Choose a position with gentle air movement and a uniform background to highlight the shapes and the shadows they cast.
• Placing a lamp nearby can cast subtle, changing shadows that add another dimension at different times of day.
