I took a week-long intensive class in art therapy. Here are parts of a project we did: Create a self-box that says something about who you and where you are in your life. I chose to make a Beauty Box, to remind me that I'm beautiful on the inside, which is more important than external beauty. Inside I wrote some notes about my strengths.

A VR "Ludlow" wall box. These boxes date from when the postmaster himself was responsible for installing mail boxes, many being made of wood; they were then faced with a metal plate. Many early ones were made by James Ludlow & Sons of Birmingham, hence the name. According to the Letter Box Study Group (LBSG), there are more than 450 locations in the UK and Republic of Ireland where Ludlow post boxes are in use, stored or preserved. Given a total of over 100,000 post boxes in UK, Ludlow boxes represent a tiny proportion.

The 1896 vintage Midland Railway signal box at Lowdham. The box contains its original 16 lever Midland 'Tumbler' lever frame. It closed in the early hours of Saturday 1st October after 120 years of service. Control has now passed to the EMCC at Derby. Photo: Ivan Stewart.

Does anybody knows a designer and name of it?

One of the tool boxes I keep for work in the back of my van. It holds most of my basic hand tools I need for work. I got the tool box from an estate of a cabinet maker and it fits my needs better than any other that I have had. I also carry a canvas tool bag which I use to carry tools and small supplies to where I need them on the job site.

NeXT Sound Box non-ADB serial number.

This Treasure Box was made from hot colored fused glass cabochons, Venetian tile, recycled glass mini tiles, and ball chain on cigar box.

It has everything you need to paint pictures up to any size when you add your own items.

 

You can paint 16" x 20" by using a watercolor light weight board.

Ok, this is actually a "painter" effect added to one of my constructions. I haven't used painter in years. Never really cared much for that program but it came with my Wacom pad.

After years I spotted a Bimbo Box! One head is a bit loose though.

Bottom: EH grey paper.

  

This is a box that I made for my wife for Christmas. Although she is a westerner, she speaks Vietnamese, and her viet name is Yến, which means Swallow. For this reason, I put a small inlay of a barn swallow in the bottom left corner of the top of the box.

 

This was my first attempt at using an inlay. I cut the shape from a mother of pearl blank, and then used a mini-router (dremel) to cut the pocket for the inlay.

 

The box measures roughly 10"x16"x6". The sides are rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), the top is American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) with a maple (Acer rubrum) and Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens ) frame. The bottom of the box (although you can't see it) is cedar (Thuja plicata).

 

The hinges on the back are brass, and are pocketed in small mortises.

 

I finished the box with about 10 coats of wipe on poly that was then sanded to p2500 grit, and then buffed to a piano-like shine. I will add a wax later this week.

 

The photos don't do the irridescent top justice. The chatoyancy of the figured black walnut and the bloodwood is outstanding.

 

I still have some work to do with the inside, and there are a few small mistakes, but overall I am pleased with this box.

New box commission. This one went to New Zealand.

My brother gave me this box of treats when he came back from Japan. It was so elegantly presented, I had to take pictures while I ruined its perfection.

BT ArtBox project celebrating 25 years of Childline

 

ArtBox Title: Rangoli K6

Artist: Natasha Kumar

Location: Brunswick Centre

 

Open-air art exhibition across London - Summer 2012

 

• BT marked 25th anniversary of ChildLine with launch of open-air art exhibition in London

• BT ArtBox project saw leading artists, designers and creatives transform full-size replicas of iconic Gilbert Scott–designed red telephone box into stunning artworks

• Throughout June and July 2012, BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations across the capital

• The National Portrait Gallery hosted a gala auction on July 18 where the ArtBoxes were auctioned to raise money for ChildLine

 

To celebrate the 25th anniversary of ChildLine, BT announced the launch of the BT ArtBox project – a new public art exhibition set to take over the capital Summer 2012.

 

Leading artists, designers and creatives from around the world were invited to apply their individual talents to re-style that much-loved icon of British design, the traditional red telephone box.

 

Each artist or designer took delivery of a full-size, fibre-glass replica of the Sir Giles Gilbert Scott-designed original K6 telephone kiosk, which was introduced in 1936 to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.

 

Participating artists included 2002 Turner prize winner Keith Tyson, Romero Britto and Royal Academician Professor of Sculpture David Mach, along with fashion designers Giles Deacon and Zandra Rhodes.

 

The BT ArtBoxes were on display in high-profile locations around the capital between June 18 and July 16 before being auctioned off at a VIP Gala Auction at the National Portrait Gallery on July 18 to raise funds for BT’s long-time partner ChildLine.

 

Esther Rantzen OBE, founder of ChildLine and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “I’m thrilled that ChildLine’s 25th birthday is to be celebrated by such a unique and inspiring project as BT Artbox.

“The red phone box is a much loved symbol of British culture and I’m keen to see how the artists involved will create new masterpieces from such an iconic canvas. It’s fantastic that the proceeds from the sale of the boxes will raise vital funds to support the work of ChildLine, enabling us to help many more children and young people to get comfort, advice and protection when they need it most.”

 

Sandy Nairne, director of the National Portrait Gallery and patron of the BT ArtBox project, said: “The Gilbert Scott telephone box is a truly iconic British design, and I’m looking forwards to seeing how artists and designers transform the replica boxes into works of art on London’s streets.”

 

David Mach, said: “It’s great to be involved with the ArtBox Exhibition. I get to kill more than two birds with one stone...work with a great charity (hopefully make money for it) and a classic British design. I love all things Gilbert Scott. Anything that encourages us to get his design back on our streets does it for me”.

 

Suzi Williams, director of BT Group Marketing and Brand, said: “BT has a history of supporting British cultural initiatives and 2012 is no exception. What better way to celebrate ChildLine's 25th anniversary than transforming replicas of the classic red phone box into a public art exhibition that can be enjoyed by all in the build-up to the Games this summer."

 

Martine Ainsworth-Wells, London & Partners, Marketing and Communications director, said:

“London & Partners is excited to support BT ArtBox in the run up to London 2012. BT ArtBox will bring some of the UK’s finest artistic talents to London’s streets, adding a new creative dimension to the capital at such an important time in its history.”

 

Artists and creatives who were interested in designing an ArtBox visited btartbox.com for more information about how to get involved.

The BT ArtBox project was supported by the Mayor of London, Professor Malcolm Garrett RDI, London & Partners, The May Fair Hotel, Harvey Nichols, The Times and The Sunday Times and borough councils across the capital.

Top 10 facts about the K6 red phone box

 

1. Kiosk number 6 or “Jubilee Kiosk” commemorates the Silver Jubilee of the coronation of King George V.

2. Sir Giles Gilbert Scott also designed Liverpool’s Anglican Cathedral, Battersea Power Station and Bankside Power Station now Tate Modern.

3. More than 1,600 decommissioned red phone boxes, mostly K6s, have been sold to local communities for just a £1 under BT’s Adopt a Kiosk scheme. Uses include being fitted with lifesaving defibrillation machines, turned into art galleries and public libraries.

4. The K6 was the first kiosk installed nationwide and the standard kiosk across the UK until the introduction of the K8 in 1968.

5. The K6 kiosk is made from cast iron with a teak door. It is 8’3” tall (2.4 metres) and weighs three quarters of a ton (762 kilograms).

6. The K6 design was approved by the Post Office and the Royal Fine Arts Commission, which endorsed “Post Office red” as the standard colour.

7. Although Scott agreed to the use of “Post Office red” he was never a supporter of the colour and initially suggested the outside of the kiosk be painted silver and the inside greenish-blue. He strongly urged rural kiosks be painted dove-grey.

8. Two K6 kiosks were installed in France during 1995, for the 50th anniversary of the D-Day landings.

9. Several red K6’s have been transformed into combined payphones and cash machines.

10.There are 11,000 red phone boxes in use in the UK.
