20 Senoritas.
Henri Jacob van Abbe (Amsterdam, 1880 - 1940) was een Nederlands ondernemer. In 1900 begon hij een kleine sigarenfabriek in Amsterdam. Deze fabriek werd, vanwege de arbeidsonrust aldaar, in 1908 verplaatst naar Gestel. Zijn succesvolle merkenpolitiek, waarbij slechts het merk Karel I werd geproduceerd, leidde tot groei. In 1915 vertrok hij naar de Bleek in Stratum. In 1920 werkten in Stratum 600 mensen. Het bedrijf werd in 1975 uiteindelijk aan Swedish Match verkocht en hield zelfs in naam op te bestaan.
Henri Van Abbe nam het initiatief tot de stichting van het Van Abbemuseum, dat geopend werd in 1936.

Shane Speal's main cigar box guitar. Built in 1996, it has been his favorite go-to instrument.
It is covered with autographs by many of the cigar box artists who have shared the stage with him. It's also stained with sweat, grit and Speal's blood (see above the right soundhole).
Simply, a three string, stick-thru-box instrument (played with a spark plug socket slide) and an internal pickup made by Matty Baratto.
The 10th Annual Cigar Box Guitar Festival will be held Friday, May 30th and Saturday, May 31st 2014, at:
Lowe Mill Arts & Entertainment Center
Huntsville, Alabama 35805 (Gmap link)
The event is the longest running CBG festival in the world. This festival celebrates the Cigar Box Guitar folk culture. It is two days filled with an assortment of music, engaging demonstrations and workshops.
Throughout the Lowe Mill grounds there will be an array of cigar box guitars, folk art, folk skills and food vendors.
Performing at the festival will be:
Day One: Cedar box, gessoed black and incised with Dremel Stylus to establish overall design.
Day Two: Top covered in Polymer Clay (using old fashioned Terra Cotta school clay) at various thicknesses to establish dimensions of design. I then textured the “cross” motif with a ball tool, and incised the outer “frame”.
Days Three & Four: The sides were covered (two each day) in the same manner as the top.
Day Five: The textured areas were antiqued with straight black acrylic paint, forcing paint into the grooves and divots, then wiped.
Then the center motif was dry brushed with a mixture of metallic gold, copper, green and black. Three very light applications were done to achieve sufficient contrast with the outer area with was simply wiped.
I will be applying polymer clay veneers to the remaining areas. It is also my plan to set genuine stones (most likely turquoise) in the center of each motif.
This cigar box is a vintage "meditation" wooden box. I altered it and hand painted the furniture and accessories to make a little dollhouse world :). I installed a wee operable window, wallpaper, and curtains. Sitting room comes with dressing table w/mirror, porcelain tea cup and saucer, letters from friends, LED battery-operated hurricane lamp, rocking chair w/pillow, rug, clay roses in pitcher, and teddy bear.
Model is my RealPuki Roro wearing Fayette2009 (Woodland Wings on Etsy) adorableness.

This cigar box is a vintage "Meditation Natural" wooden box. I altered it and hand painted the furniture and accessories to make a little dollhouse world :). The painting technique I used required multiple layers of color and crackle to get this shabby look. Gold highlights were brushed on to give a little sparkle.
I installed a wee operable window, wallpaper, and curtains. The curtains are topped with handmade paper roses, tulle, gold ribbon and pearls.
This sitting room comes with dressing table w/mirror, porcelain tea cup and saucer, mail, LED battery-operated working hurricane lamp, rocking chair w/ handmade pillow, rug, clay flowers in pitcher, and teddy bear.
Size of the box is 6 1/2" x 6 3/4" x 2 1/4". All furniture and accessories are 1:12 scale.

A can-jo is a one-stringed dulcimer which uses a can to serve the same "resonator" function as the body of a more traditional instrument. It is among the easiest instruments to learn, yet affords a wide latitude for song play. It can be delicately tuneful in some instances, and raspy in other instances. I bought this one from a couple in Pennsylvania via an eBay auction.
Just finished this weekend! My shabby fairy cigar box dollhouse features a real working window, wood plank floor, tiny clay bricks and plaster walls and a battery operated LED wall lamp.

This fabulous altered vintage cigar box is my favorite so far! With black mini pom pom trim and a fabulous VERY vintage cameo brooch to dress up the top, who wouldn't LOVE to have decorate their studio?? It is filled with antique, vintage and new collage supplies.

He had been in busines in Peru, Illinois since 1877. He married Mary Eiberger (1858-1937) on May 31, 1881. They became the parents of three children,: Doretta, Edward J., and Anna. Edward Weiland continued in business until his death, December 16, 1925. The record book of the Peru Schuetzen Club lists Ed Weiland among the members during the 1890's and early 1900's.
