I took a week-long intensive class in art therapy. Here are parts of a project we did: Create a self-box that says something about who you and where you are in your life. I chose to make a Beauty Box, to remind me that I'm beautiful on the inside, which is more important than external beauty. Inside I wrote some notes about my strengths.

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.

I went for a nice walk in Fitzroy Gardens this morning, while the weather is nice. Hardly anyone about at 9 am , but Kere Kere Cafe is doing takeaway. This sketch was done in the time it took to get my coffee. It is still a usable Post Box, I am not sure of how long it has been there. It is an original old box, but it may have been put there for all the tourists that go there.
Did I mention how much I love my watercolour pencil
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.

Box cameras on the market in the 1930s were rugged, inexpensive, and easy to use.
Some had built-in accessories, others had attachments, but consumers liked them all.
Box cameras got their name from their rigid boxy shape, most often rectangular but sometimes a cube. They often had fixed focus, fixed lens opening and limited speeds. They gave the beginner an opportunity to learn the basics of photography such as composition and subject choice, without too much emphasis on complicated technical details.
The most common problem with these Agfa box cameras was difficulty in loading the film. It was hard to keep light from hitting the film and causing fogginess on the edges of the finished print. In spite of this drawback, box cameras were surprisingly easy to use for outdoor and indoor portraits, action shots, landscapes, and silhouettes.
The box open showing some of the items you can put in the box when it is finished.
It has everything you need to paint pictures up to any size when you add your own items.
You can paint 16" x 20" by using a watercolor light weight board.
Made for a bridal shower. Bottom layer was chocolate cake with raspberry filling and top two layers were vanilla cake with blueberry filling. The cake was frosted with vanilla butter cream and decorated with chocolate fondant.
I shot this last year as a feature for Drivenmotive but never got the chance to put them up. The amount of precision and work that Mike put into this car is absolutely amazing. If you ever get the chance to see Mike in person, stop by and say hi. You won't be disappointed with him or what he's done with this Scion.

That ^^^ means no flashy logos or daft graphics please!!
Ok then. First from a series of photos done of the fantastic Jo F from Christchurch. This young lady is largely responsible for the trip in the first place as we crossed paths online approx nine months ago, and I instantly knew we needed to work together. Since then I spent many hours chatting away, realising what a delightfully charming, if off-the-wall young lady she is. So the time passed by, and eventually it happened.
So to say I was aprehensive is an understatement. All built up too much? Much pressure? Over-shadowed by Jo's photographer other half? Was I panicking much?
Hmmm...
Needn't have worried. She made the whole thing very easy, brought her own style, ideas and glamour to the whole thing. Hugely impressed, and she made it all huge fun! Big thumbs up to her, and as you'll see, a lot of different stuff from her to come. :-)

Ramsbottom Station signal box 7 signal (Down Home) protects Bridge Street level crossing with the signal box and 10 signal (Up Home) visible beyond. Saturday 18th February 1984
Ramsbottom Station signal box is a London Midland and Scottish Railway Type 11c design which opened in 1938 fitted with a 40 lever Railway Executive Committee frame, replacing Ramsbottom South, Ramsbottom Station and Ramsbottom North Sidings signal boxes. The box was reduced to a non block post controlling the adjacent level crossing only on 4th June 1972 and it closed on 5th December 1980 along with the Castleton to Rawtenstall single line. Eventually ownership passed to the East Lancashire Railway who reopened it on 17th November 1990
The box carries a British Railways London Midland Region maroon enamel nameplate, and 7 signal is carried on a London Midland and Scottish Railway designed all-welded stem right-hand bracket
Many thanks to Ingy the Wingy
This is a box that I made for my wife for Christmas. Although she is a westerner, she speaks Vietnamese, and her viet name is Yến, which means Swallow. For this reason, I put a small inlay of a barn swallow in the bottom left corner of the top of the box.
This was my first attempt at using an inlay. I cut the shape from a mother of pearl blank, and then used a mini-router (dremel) to cut the pocket for the inlay.
The box measures roughly 10"x16"x6". The sides are rosewood (Dalbergia nigra), the top is American Black Walnut (Juglans nigra) with a maple (Acer rubrum) and Bloodwood (Brosimum rubescens ) frame. The bottom of the box (although you can't see it) is cedar (Thuja plicata).
The hinges on the back are brass, and are pocketed in small mortises.
I finished the box with about 10 coats of wipe on poly that was then sanded to p2500 grit, and then buffed to a piano-like shine. I will add a wax later this week.
The photos don't do the irridescent top justice. The chatoyancy of the figured black walnut and the bloodwood is outstanding.
I still have some work to do with the inside, and there are a few small mistakes, but overall I am pleased with this box.

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.
This cake was made for the Children's Wish Foundation. They hosted a NY 1920's Gala. The cake is red velvet with cream cheese buttercream filling and white chocolate ganache.
Another box full of goodie-goodies for camera service.
No descriptions in/on the box so a puzzle for which camera this is.
Most probably a Japanese 35mm camera.
