Theater District, Midtown Manhattan
The Music Box Theater survives today as one of the historic playhouses that symbolize American theater for both New York and the nation. Constructed shortly after the end of World War I, the Music Box was built by producer Sam Harris to house Irving Berlin's Music Box Revues.
Sam Harris was a legendary Broadway producer, who first reached fame through his successful partnership with George M. Cohan, and then collaborated with Irving Berlin and later with Kaufman and Hart. Irving Berlin is among the greatest and best-known American songwriters of this century. Together they staged Berlin's Music Box Review for the first five years of the 1920s.
C. Howard Crane was a nationally prominent theater architect when Harris and Berlin hired him, along with his associate E. George Kiehler, to design the Music Box. Besides his two Broadway houses (the Music Box and the Guild -- now the Virginia), he designed legitimate theaters and grand movie palaces in cities across the country, and later in England.
The Music Box Theater represents a special and important aspect of the nation's theatrical history. Beyond its historical importance, its facade is an unusually handsome Palladian-inspired design.

ridiculously elaborate box for a single pen...probably my biggest learning project to date. ridiculous number of hours in this simple thing.
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.

Window Boxes on the facade were covered with Mount Board and painted with "Flat Chestnut" Metallic Paint to look like metal sheathing.
Ta-dah~! Even half-wrapped and cross-eyed he's a pretty baby. This is Aiden, my doll Family Lyre. :D
This candy box shaped cake has an edible lid, it hides hand-made chocolates. I designed the rose to look like my husband's favorite t-shirt design from Dom Rebel.

This box was made by Lucia Kleinhans Mathews at The Furniture Shop, a workshop opened by Mathews, her husband, painter Arthur Frank Mathews, and entrepreneur John Zeile Jr. in 1906 following the San Francisco earthquake. The firm produced both handcrafted decorative furniture and decorative arts. The flat composition of conventionalized floral motifs, landscapes, and figures rendered in polychrome and outlined in black is characteristic of their work. This particular box was made as a gift for Lucia Mathew’s brother and sister-in-law. The inscription on the underside, “A poppy for each year,” accompanied by twenty-six poppies and a list of dates, is perhaps a reference to the years of marriage shared by the couple.

Noticed there were a lot of Phone Boxes on my travels, so I decided to snap them. Looks like my Kowa 6 is on it's last legs with Light leaks and dodgy cogs.
