Another one from the homemade cigar box pinhole camera, I am really enjoying it and am pretty happy with the results.

Taken with a pinhole camera made out of a cigar box- 120 second exposure. (I moved halfway though the exposure)
This is my second pinhole camera. This one is also made from a cigar box, but this time I covered the box with leatherette from Camera Leather. I used brass extensively to make it somewhat ornate. The pinhole is from Lenox Laser and is held in place by a rubber O-Ring. They both sit in a closet pull cup. I used a brass washer to put the pinhole at exactly 90mm from the focal plane. I was able to get the washer laser engraved, to give it a commercial look. I took my first two shots and they are currently being developed. Here is an image with this camera. Here is another image.

Taken 2011, developed finally in 2014. I'm working through the backlog, slowly, but it's progress.
Mixed media piece using a cigar box aged and painted with alcohol inks and lined on the inside with map pages from an atlas, xmas ornaments, toys, a Kodak Brownie Starmite II camera with an old fuse glued in the flashbulb compartment and some vintage cigar box labels on top of the glass.
The year we turned 50, several of my friends from grade and high school days came from here in Texas, Tennessee, and Kentucky to spend a couple of nights at my house. One, Teresa, recalled that my childhood gift to her and others for birthday sleepovers was a cigar box filled with candy from our country store. She scoured through antique shops to find this and filled it to the rim with candy for me. Brings back memories of a lifetime with really wonderful friends. (Well, mostly wonderful! I once spent the night with Teresa and her mother made me gargle saltwater. I thought that was torture!)
ODC: early memories
I am so pleased with this box, and as often happens in such cases, I've held onto it for a long time. I made it out of a white-ecru mix which I textured, then cut into I don't know how many narrow strips and covered the entire exterior, including the bottom. Once that was done, and the box cured, I sanded and buffed and then applied a glaze of raw sienna and burnt umber. A striped agate bead I especially liked was then fixed to the top, a narrow black bezel created and the piece was cured again to fuse the glaze and cure the clay bezel. I've left the interior natural to allow it to be used for proper cigar storage, and cut a removable dark brown suede piece for the base. The box is 5 3/4 inches long, 4 1/2 inches wide and 4 3/8 inches tall. The entire exterior of the box is covered, including the bottom. I have signed the underside of the lid.

today's project. uses 4x5 film or paper. i am using a surplus shutter for exposure. i have about 20 of these.
top slides open to insert film. very easy to load and use. not shown is a top piece that prevents light leaks when using. it also prevents anyone who is not familiar with camera's operation from opening the top. this happened twice.
I like how this turned out. i plan to build more of this model camera using birch plywood.
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.
All furniture and accessories are 1:12 scale.
Thx for looking! Tori

Italian postcard by G.B. Falci, Milano. Pina Menichelli and Livio Pavanelli in La seconda moglie (Amleto Palermi, 1923).
One of Pina Menichelli's last diva films was La seconda moglie (produced in 1922, released in 1923). The film was directed by Amleto Palermi and based on the play The Second Mrs. Tanqueray by Arthur Wing Pinero. Widower Lord Tanqueray (Pavanelli) remarries, tired of being alone. His new wife, the mundane Paula (Menichelli, of course), is the opposite of his austere, perfect first wife. Though she abandons her former life, Tanqueray's daughter Eliana (Orietta Claudi) is disgusted by her. When Eliana comes back from Paris with her new lover, however, Paula recognizes him as her former lover...
The play had already been a popular vehicle for Italian stage actresses such as Eleonora Duse and Virginia Reiter and had already been filmed in Britain by Fred Paul in 1916, with Hilda Moore as the protagonist. While some Italian critics disliked of Menichelli's acting as too mannerist, critic Aurelio Spada praised her acting and Palermi's directing in the scenes in which Paula is in love and jealous of the innocent Eliana, trying to win her sympathy. La seconda moglie was one of Menichelli's most popular films. Exteriors were shot in London.
A small sample into my collection of cigars (Rocky Patel are my FAV :-))). In my opinion there is nothing more nostalgic than an old Bel-Air and cigars, at least I have one out of the two.
Made this assemblage in the class taught by Rebecca Sower. I customized mine and brought pictures of my children and a passage from the Corinthians.

This piece is original design - not a drawing of a still life.
I don't know why but I love old things. I love going through old boxes of obsolete stuff and wondering what the times were like when these were relevant. I once worked in a non-profit, socially and environmentally based architectural salvage and green demolition company. I must confess I always enjoyed opening and going through old boxes of donated things and finding cans of screws or boxes of bolts or ...or cigar boxes of vacuum tubes.
With regards to vacuum tubes, they are absolutely fascinating devices. Their fascinating physics aside, I have always thought they have a wonderful artistic quality. Perhaps the amount of intricate detail encapsulated in them. It is sort of like a ship in a bottle.
I also remember going to the A&P with my dad and testing tubes from the old TV. There was a big board with dozens of sockets and a couple of analog displays showing voltages and such.
Lastly my Grandfather had a gazillion cigar boxes in his house. everything from sewing stuff to old photos was stored in them. To think how many cigars that added up to is unimaginable! Gramps was a wonderful person whom I'll always miss, and whenever I see cigar boxes they remind of Gramps.
Drawing this picture conjured all those memories and thoughts.
