These pieces HAVE to be shipped in a box, there really is no other way! These are wedding favour boxes and shallow so the lid is kind of balanced on the ring edge when it's closed - the answer? Tie it up with ribbon etc, gives and excuse to froo froo it up with a label and a button!

Some have asked what is a macro box or have wanted to see it. Well here she is. I cut out 3 sides of a 12x12x12 box and taped tissue paper to them. Cut the top and bottom flaps off. I can use the side flaps to keep in some of the light from the light on the side. I have this light from my Dragons cage. Eventually i will use a flash. (almost have enough money for that) If you want full directions for this go to

I made a necklace as a gift and needed a little box for it, so I made one with the Sizzix Candy Drawer die. Since the box is cut from mat board, it is very sturdy and formed a perfect home for the necklace. First, I adhered a piece of Graphic 45 Kraft Reflections paper to a big enough strip of mat board, using multi-medium. I smeared a bit of Salty Oceans Distress Ink on my craft sheet, misted with water and dragged a piece of watercolour paper through it. When this was dry, I adhered it to another piece of mat board in the same way. Again, when the adhesive was dry, the ‘frame’ of the box was cut from the patterned paper piece, using my Big Shot, and the two drawer parts were cut from the watercolour piece.
Before assembling the box, I stamped the blue parts randomly with a swirl stamp, using Salty Ocean ink, and stamped a sentiment on each side with Archival Ink Coffee.
The flower was made with the 3D Fringed Flower die. The flower comes in three sizes on the die, and I cut two of each size (6 flowers in total) from canvas. To colour them, I smeared Distress Stain on my craft sheet (Broken China, Antique Linen, Frayed Burlap), misted the flowers with water and then dipped them into the ink. I frayed the edges a bit and dried them with my heat gun. They were layered together with a button in the centre. TFL!

The "box of chocolates" cookies are totally stolen from Cookie Genius Maryann (Cookieartisan)....with permission, of course! It was such a brilliant idea that I sooo badly wanted to try it out for the bakery. I added some of our very popular cake truffles to the box too. We'll put these out as samples...hopefully people may order a little earlier!

The box is more of a point of sale piece but part of the crisis direct mail.
The statement has power and gets straight to the point which was intended for the target audience.
Food, A bed and shelter are all human necessities so the idea is to us peoples emotions to help them to reflect on there lives.
Shelter for you and me is a house but if you ar e homeless then all you have for shelter is a box.
The Box is intended to bee left in places where people could walk past and tear away one of the contact strips on the box.
Paper: 10 cm Grainy

A beautiful thick paper hopefully makes a nice box. Tip of the lid was hard to fold due to thickness.
The paper holds creases really well, which makes the folding a pleasure.
Built by Gerstner, this Model 212 fell into my hands battered and splashed with the obligatory white latex paint. (I still don't understand why virtually every old tool box I run into has white paint stains. Has no one heard of drop cloths?)
General freight box car built in 2008. It was rebuilt in 7-studs-wide convention and exists together with brown and sand-green variations of this one :)
The Story
In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
Music

Organizing all my documents for life, school, and work in a large box folder. Soon I will have to expand and use several box folders.
“Red Boxes” — Two red boxes on the sidewalk below a street art panel, Aberdeen.
This is another street photograph from the area of central Aberdeen, Scotland a bit west the Victoria Dock. There are many old and narrow streets here that twist and turn in interesting ways. Some of the streets feature a lot of street art and, unlike in some places I’ve visited and photographed, much of it stands apart for better viewing and is rarely defaced by other marks.
This one caught my attention — hard for it not too with those eyes staring back at you fro the wall! Like some similar pieces, it occupies an intended area on a concrete wall that is framed by other portions of the wall. The figure itself is interesting, but so is the setting. And in this case, those inexplicable red boxes on the sidewalk seem to change everything about the scene.
