Each destiny is wrapped in a colorful box, full of mystery and uncertainty. Sometimes the choice is coated with docile words and exciting colors but when you open it, your world is turned into a black and white film that only you have to bear...
Choosing your destiny is always a lonely experience...
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.

This wall box is part of my arch/shrine series. It alludes to trees, nature, the evolving circle of our life and those things that we find important or pray to. It is porcelain, pattern is carved through black underglaze in a technique called Sgraffito. These boxes look marvelous in groupings of 2 or more.

Postland Signal Box in November 2005. A remarkable survivor although it has seen better days. This is on the former line between March and Spalding that closed in November 1982. There are other boxes on this line that survive at Murrow, French Drove and Cowbit. Plans have been mentioned to reopen this line, but the opening of the A16 over a section of the old line make this look unlikely.
Box Tour and Return to Tiger Land May 7 provided the surrounding communities of Fort Polk, a glimpse of the training past and present that takes place here.
FIELD MARK-The box turtle or box tortoise is a genus of turtle native to North America (United States and Mexico). The 12 taxa which are distinguished in the genus are distributed over four species. It is largely characterized by having a domed shell, which is hinged at the bottom, allowing the animal to close its shell tightly to escape predators.
My light box/tent is made from artist's canvas stretcher bars with thin white fabric stretched over them. It's held together with a big elastic band at the back, so I can take it apart and lay it flat to store it. It sits on a piece of white foamcore board. You can drape paper or more fabric over the top if you need top lighting.
Let's be honest, the economy stinks right now - and our schools are in need of as much help as possible. Hope and I are collecting box tops for her school. If you would like to help out send us your box tops:

This is the lid-off version. Item is affixed to the passenger-side strut tower of a 2009 Mustang GT/CS, bolted-on through two holes that are bare in some models.
The car has HID headlamps. I have the wiring diagrams and shop manuals, but haven't made an effort to discover what this thing does. (Possibly the "Fog Lamps" relays? NOPE). This is called "Auxiliary Relay Box 1", and it controls the HID headlamps. Mystery solved.
Numbers on the two plugged-in items are:
F57B-14B192-AA
A small relay, ubiquitous among Ford models.
Inside the lid:
E-434E / E -1826C EPC
There is another matched pair of relays somewhere in the car, for the Heated Seats, left and right.
Spent a little time here and there the last two days. Put ALOT of detail into this.
Wood burning is tough work! Also used watered down acrylics and a glaze varnish.
Likely will sell this at an art's festival coming up.
