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.
This Pillar box is located at the junction of Queen Elizabeth's Walk and Grazebrook Road, London.
Andrew Handyside had the Post Office Contract to make pillar boxes from 1878 to 1933 (1931-1933 known as Derby Castings).
Here is one such Pillar Box. On the front of this box is a "VR" which is the Royal Cypher of Queen Victoria. This would have been manufactured in Derby sometime between 1887-1901.
For more information on Andrew Handyside see my blog :

I would like to thank Tom Uprichard of Stoke Newington for this photograph.
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.
Boite repas du restaurant fast food Quick!
Ce visage me fait penser au masque du film: "V pour Vendetta"
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.
I've only ever put binding on a quilt, so this was a first for me. The pattern didn't give much guidance on how to finish the corner binding edges, nor could I find any good pictures. I had to experiment a bit before I was happy with the results. It looks really snazzy, if I do say so myself.
Selling agency: Nagamine Shoji (English; Nagamine Trade Corporation)
Manufacturer: Sekiguchi
I guess Sekiguci received an order from Kamar, manufactured them, and Nagamine exported.
And, Nagamine sold those dolls as Canelon in Japan.
This box has been in my family for over 100 years. It is said to have been looted from the Emperor's summer palace during the Boxer Rebellion.
The size is 280 x 120 x 90 mm
I don't know how much credence to give to that story, but it is beautifully and intricately carved. It's condition is only fair, with some shrinkage and splitting of the wood and some minor damage to the carvings in places.
More information from someone knowledgeable would be welcome.
This is my makeshift light box my man and I made. I need a bigger box but this was all I could get my hands on. Its a bit wonky but it does the job. I would like to try to build one out of some wood and get some better lights for it.
