Years ago, right after we were married, I took a course in decorative painting. This is the jewelry box that I made for myself - it was originally ivory, but the varnish has really yellowed with age. Don't think I could do this again!!
Left: Purchased from a garage sale 10 years ago for $5. I believe it's from the 1970's. It's pretty hefty and I suspect it's made of lacquer.
Right: Gift from my Mom about 20 years ago. This bento has "feet" and no seals so it's more of a "eat at home" type of box. I've used this for work and I tie it with a furoshiki to keep it closed.
Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

I bought a chair...and it came with this great box. :) I just had to use it somehow, I am still unable to recycle it. There may yet be photo possibilities.......
I hope you'll forgive these; a friend of mine is undertaking a craft project for which he might need a good wooden cigar box, so I photographed some of the many boxes in my collection which aren't otherwise earmarked for some craft project (and some which were). These are basically up here for him to peruse ...

I jumped out of the train at Hexham to get these shots, I will need to go back and get some better shots before it is closed for good
The magician shows a black wooden box with some Chinese-looking artwork on the outside. Inside the box is a large wooden die. The magician removes the die and puts it into a hat. He then describes the box and how the trick is going to work. If he puts the die in one side when it is facing him, when he turns the box towards the audience, it will appear to be on the other side. Then the magician retrieves the die from the hat and places it in one side of the box, closes both doors and turns it towards the audience. Just as rehearsed with the audience, he asks which side the die is on. When they guess where is should be, the magician not-so-subtly tilts the box and the die can be heard sliding to the other side. The magician opens the side the audience said and shows the die is not there. He asks another person, when they say the other side, again he tilts the box, then opens the door, showing it empty. More interplay is done with the audience, the magician apparently slips and reveals the die inside the box, only to ultimately show that it has completed vanished from inside the box, both doors are open. The die is then produced from the hat.
Blue post box in East Lexham, Norfolk. It is acting as a donation box for the childrens playground as the villagers pay for the upkeep of the playground themselves. I put a few quid in after taking the picture!!! !!!
The Celtic symbol for "friendship" I burnt it on a small wooden box and painted the box a forest green. I gave it to my best friend for Christmas of 2009.
Brocklesby station and signal box sseen just before closure of the box in October 2015 just before York ROC took over control of the area.
The box is a curiosity, not only is it sunk into the island platform but its panel was intended as an emergency one that could switch in and out as required. The box was to close and Ulceby would have taken over the immediate area, however Brocklesby Signal Box remained and the panel took its place within the huge box, whose levers were removed and the frame boarded over, but it still remained beneath.
A box of balloons at my cousin RaeAnne's birthday party. This ended up being one of the things the kids liked the most.

Louise and I were at Box Hill National Trust in Surrey as part of our first wedding anniversary weekend and we saw the Mink near the stepping stones at the entrance to a tunnel before it scuttled off. Never seen one before.

And they're all made out of ticky tacky and they all look just the same.

Waiting all day for the electricians to get out of my closet, the carpenter to drill a new hole in my counter, the Qwest guy to transfer the lines, and the phone guy to bring over the phone system.
Box out in the woods. This was taken several miles up a winding dirt path 3/4s of the way up a mountain in western MA.
My lens is just about to touch the post box and still there's so much left in the image. Man wide angles are so much fun!
