I love the detail around the entire box and the way Bastardino is on a chain. He is so grumpy looking but too cute at the same time. If you look at the stockings closely they are not leopard print but rather small faces, fantastic detail.

The Altissa Box was a nice new variant of Altissa's characteristic line of box cameras. It was launched one year before the company became the state-owned VEB Altissa Camera Werk.
Altissa Kamera Werk's former name was Eho-Altissa.
I found this box during my New Year's walk after having eaten so much over the holidays. ;-) The area where the picture was taken gets flooded to some extent almost every year during summer rainfalls (the place is something like 200m from the Danube main stream). The place itself is pretty scary, people have left behind all sorts of different things in the forest and also water silts loads of crap in what in summer appears to be the bank.
O-S Music Box, view B using a feedsack print (not very good for taking pictures, but it is really great and with a proper weight for a fall/winter dress).
Liesl was totally right on this one: It is very simple and easy to follow (and the results are impeccable as usual with O+S patterns).
I'm pretty sure this one will be a "must-have" in her closet from now on and I'm already thinking of ways to make it a bit different - piping, rick rack, maybe even some embroidery on the bodice front.

Loading box lunches before departure, Detroit Light Guard Armory, July 13, 1960, a.m.
* * * * *
July 13, 1960, by Paul Magley
After arising about 5:30 AM, on Wednesday, sleeping bags and air-mattresses were quickly packed, Beginning at 6:30 AM, a breakfast of sausages, eggs, buns, potatoes, cupcakes, and milk was served.
At 7~30 AM, the last scout left the basement dining room as buses were loaded with gear and box lunches.
The contingent leaders called for the police escort and decided to alter the departure time to one slightly ahead of schedule.
After leaving the grounds of the Light Guard Armory, where we had remained overnight, our group proceeded along 8 mile road. Along the departure route we noticed the Detroit Artillery Armory and a large fiberglass factory at approximately
8: 15 AM.
A light rain in the morning had been sandwiched between a downpour during the night and heavy rainfall in the early afternoon, which cleared by 2:00 PM.
We went south on route 24. which for some distance is known as Telegraph Road, and passed over the small Rouge River three times.
The buses entered Dearborn, Michigan, at 8:50 AM, = by 10:00 AM, northwestern Ohio - at 10:10 AM began rolling on the Ohio Turnpike - 11:40 AM, passed double toll gates and entered Indiana on the Indiana Toll Road.
At 12~00 noon our bus met and passed a troop of scouts from Troy, New York, who were also going to the Jamboree.
When we stopped from 1:07 to 2:00 PM, at a service area in northwestern Indiana for a box lunch outside a restaurant called the Glass House (also a Cities Service Station) Mr, Kohnken, ASM" met Dave Mayer of Watervliet, New York, a leader of a
Troy, New York Jamboree bound troop. They had met at philmont Scout Ranch in 1959.
We also learned that this contingent from Troy prepared their own food enroute instead of having their meals catered along the way.
Somewhat later we were obliged to halt for a short while because one of the buses had minor engine difficulties, However, it was quickly fixed by our driver-mechanic.
At 3:45 PM, we observed a mass of transmission lines and electrical transformers that enveloped us for several minutes.
Illinois was then entered at 3:50, Lake Michigan was on our right side and, at 4:00 the Calumet Skyway Toll Bridge brought us into Chicago's variation of a traffic congestion problem.
We arrived at the Navy pier at 5:00 PM, Between 5:45 and 6:30 PM, we enjoyed an excellent dinner at one of Harvey's Restaurants in Union Railway Station.
After by-passing the rush hour, travellers waiting for trains, we filed by troops up to the mezzanine for an excellent dinner of fried chicken, peas, potatoes, rolls and butter, apple pie, and milk.
When Casey returned to the bus he was given a double round of cheering, A sign reading "Cannonball Casey at the Wheel" was attached to the front of the bus by the troop scribe.
On our sightseeing trip away from Union Station, we observed the outward evidence of a subway system, empty lots of junk" a fire department academy under construction, slums, railroad tracks and cars beyond count, piles of graphite, ship canals, the home of the Spiegel catalogue, Comiskey Park of the White Sox, long railroad underpasses, an annex of the University of Chicago, Chinatown, combined police and fire department buildings, and the Chicago Coliseum, (where the Republican Party will hold its 1960 convention) passed in an array of rapidly appearing attractions.
We saw the art institute, Grant Park" five story high layered parking lots, orchestral music hall, public library, Prudential Insurance Company Building, and the exquisitely modern Chicago Sun Times Building.
By the time the street lights were turned on we became slightly confused as to where we were. However, we continued on and saw the "highest church in the world" located in a tall office building.
Suddenly finding ourselves along the shores of Lake Michigan, we witnessed the fury of one of the Great Lakes. Unusually low
temperature and tall white breakers drove everyone off the beaches. Angry waves lashed against retaining walls causing spray to shoot several feet skyward.
From there we went on through Lincoln Park" past the Central Park Lake and the Chicago Zoo. The famous monument of Lincoln is also found in the aptly named "windy" city.
The Chicago Federal Court of Appeals had a perfect view of the gale swept shore line. Steve Horlitz and others almost lost their neckerchiefs as they hung from the open windows.
We returned to the Navy Pier at 9:00 PM, took a shower and retired at 10:15 PM.
During the night a frost was deposited on the grass outside.
Note: We didn't have to set our watches back one hour for Central Daylight Savings Time zone near Elkhart, Indiana» since we already had set our watches back for standard time in Detroit.

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.
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.
The GWR signal box at Hereford is still in use.
It's appearance has changed a bit due to the installation of modern PVC framed windows.
Box from the same name tessellation.
Top: tant paper, hexagon from 24x24 cm square, 32 division grid.
Bottom: EH grey paper.
Bottom box creases before folding.
Dimensions for the inner elongated hexagon are 5 mm smaller than the top lid, to allow for folding of the top sides-
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.
bejeweled jewelry boxes
I have always been drawn to Taipei 101 not for its height, but for the care embedded in its details — a skyscraper that rewards slow looking, one tier at a time.
From a nearby hotel room, these stacked sections always felt like little jewel boxes to me, especially in this edit where the glass catches the light. Even years later, the building still feels deliberate and ornate, carrying a sense of culture and craft that goes beyond measurements or records.
Revisiting this image after watching Alex Honnold’s recent urban free solo ascent gave me a renewed appreciation for vertical spaces — not just as architecture to admire, but as something physical, demanding, and alive. Seeing the tower through the lens of movement and human effort reshaped how I relate to details I’ve loved for years.
I am not a climber, but I have come away with a deeper respect for the discipline, focus, and courage the sport demands — whether at the elite level or in everyday climbing gyms. It’s a reminder that iconic structures aren’t only meant to be seen from the ground; they are also places where design, engineering, and human ambition intersect.
Taipei 101 may no longer be the tallest, but in character, culture, and beauty, it still stands apart.
I came to this image through architecture, but I am now seeing it through climbing.

Fluxus boxes were intended as non linear narratives to be handled, touched, performed, disseminated, destroyed, reassembled, counted and reconfigured.
Just as cinema montage and music had learned, the orchestration of symbols, visions and other sensorial components was able to create novel scenarios. Interactivity and tangibility created a state of continuous recombination, multiplying interpretation and cognitively activating people, who became part of the artwork while handling, imagining and communicating. The connection with the ordinary flow of life created new dimensions in the world: stratified, recombinant and engaging.
In occasion of the 50 years of FLUXUS we have decided to research on this wonderful form of expression, both for the innovation it has provided in the arts and for its connection with many of the mutation processes that are going on with contemporary humanity and their ability to experience media, communicate and interact.
At the event Mercoledì da NABA series of events, on December 15th 2010, we will hold a workshop/performance in which we will build a Fluxus Box using Augmented Reality and other cross-medial techniques and technologies.
The ojective will be to research on the Fluxus Box approach, and to appy it at a “meta” level. The objects contained in the box will be tools through which the experience of multiple Fluxus Boxes will be holdable, remixable, juxtaposable, recombinable, enacting a meta-performance encompassing possibly infinite remixed reenactments of Fluxus performances, experiences and events.
The box we will produced will be donated to the NABA, and the custom software that will be created for the occasion will be released under a GPL2 licensing scheme, so that it will be usable by artists, students and practitioners worldwide, in a further level of the performance.
