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.
It didn't start out to be round, or oval I guess, it started out as a regular square box, but I thought it was a bit too chunky or something, so I decided to round over the corners at the bandsaw.
The main body of the box is Kingwood, one of those dense, oily tropicals that doesn't take a film finish well, so it had just one light coat of Danish Oil finish, and some furniture wax.
The lid is cherry, with two slightly curvy strips of walnut running through it. It was cut from a larger piece that I did a while ago just as a proof of concept for a future project, which turned out to be this one.
The box was originally a tiny shoe-shaped paper mache box that can be frequently found in arts and crafts stores like Michaels or A.C. Moore’s. I covered the box with polymer clay and painted the inside with yellow glitter acrylic paint.
Curve-topped box with applied vintage map and compass rose design and faux antique oak and verdigris bronze finish.
I am glad this box jellyfish was in a tank. I would hate to tangle with it in the sea.

Unbuckle the boxes to work at your desk with them. Then buckle them up and hang them on the wall to save space when finished!
Our spice box has a story. Michele spent six months at ANU before going to Caltech for a year. While she was in the US this box stored the dry-stock that she had acquired in Australia, awaiting her return. When we both moved to Canberra we retrieved this box from a cupboard in the geology department, and it became the spice box, added to, reinforced with duct tape, and occasionally spilled on.

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.
There is a live monarch in that box. Slip the elastic, lift the lid, and wait for it to fly away to Mexico. Most monarchs only live 2-3 weeks, but every year during late summer a generation hatches that can survive up to eight months, allowing them to migrate down to Mexico, wait out the winter, and then start to head back. They won't make it back. They start mating again in the spring in places like Texas, and their kids will only live 2-3 weeks, flying north the whole time. Eventually they get to Canada and the cycle starts over again. The whole point of the tagging and Monarch Watch is to figure out how they do it.
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.
