I was recently commissioned through etsy to create an altered cigar box for a 14 year old girl. I sent out my standard questionnaire but fount that the response didn't help me much. What I learned: she loves soccer, vintage, her dog, her brother and jesus. She also likes green and purple. She did add that she has big blue eyes and brown hair. I decided that rather than take all this info and try to squeeze it onto a box I would instead use her her colors and start with the theme of of coming of age. If I could get some of her other likes in there all the better. I figured that her parents chose to purchase this box from me for a reason so I went with my instinct. Here is the result.
about 35 pieces incl. lid
made of beech and walnut
about 22 cm in diameter
unfortunately I got some vibrations at the top of the box, so I could not turn a thinner wall
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.

A tiny green velvet covered jewellery box has come into its own today.
Even though both boxes are identical, Wrangler was annoyed that Freddy was in the box that he considered his. After an unsuccessful attempt to evict Freddy, Wrangler begrudgingly settled down in the other box.

Shame that Rich didn't read what it said on the box for our rather large subwoofer before dropping it on the amplifier. Luckily both survived, if a little dented.

I've rescued several box turtles from the highway over the years. I usually just let them go in the back yard. When I see a box turtle in the yard I wonder whether it's one I found on the road or whether it just wandered in from somewhere.
This fabric box was constructed for me by quilter Jan Zietlow, in Boulder, Montana,
from fabrics I chose. I like that it's "a different kind of box." Each side of the triangular
top measures 5.5 inches and the box stands 3.75 inches tall closed.

I love the box. The box would have been a great present. What's inside is just too much to describe...
