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
On the inside lid of Hemingway cigar box. My father kept some of his drafting and pen supplies in these ornate boxes. However, he didn't smoke cigars!

Two sculptural pin cushions made for an exhibition in Tasmania where each artist was given one or more cigar boxes to interpret as they wished....so I wanted to respond to the gloriously fancy labels!

Eight blue cats grace this charming and whimsical weathered barn red cedar cigar box with sliding top. The Top Cat holds a ball of blue (polymer clay) yarn, which also serves as a pull to open the box, which is natural cedar inside.

Wooden cigar box from Ed Weiland Inc.. Peru, Illinois. Many communities had local cigar makers, back during the 19th and early 20th Centuries.
Edward Weiland, Sr. was born at sea, November 1, 1854, the son of Christian Weiland (born in Luxemburg in 1825) and his wife Elizabeth Dornbusch (born in Prussia in 1822) He was 25 years old in the 1880 census, listed as a cigar manufacturer. 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.
From 1883, stones and keepsakes from a journey to Europe by an American couple whose little notebook implies life changes between their departure & return. A cherished offering from my magical handyman, who found this box in the attic of an abandoned home some years back. I'm pursuing leads on the couple, from Ravenswood, Virginia.
Made to be auctioned to raise money for the Sevenoaks School charity aiming to build an educational facility in Southern Africa.

built this today. shoots with standard film holders.
got tired of building pinhole cameras. this can be used as a landscape field camera (very lightweight) or the lens board can be removed and replaced with a pinhole.
build around a cigar box that has been internally reinforced with plywood. It sports my handbuild standard 4x5 film holder.
Have a series of images shot from travels to local Flea Markets. A random bunch of curiosities in each frame. Here is one.
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.

Thanks for looking! Tori
a collection of cigar boxes on a book shelf.
i found this collection of old cigar boxes in an antique store in downtown Cape Girardeau. I liked these because they brought back memories. Not that I used to smoke them but I remember seeing these boxes behind a counter at the drug store I used to visit.

This is a Plein-Air Watercolor travel set that I made for a friend. I made it for less than $10 and it is equal to the $200.00 set sold commercially. I have made over 50 so far and each one gets better each time.
They are fun to make. All you need is a couple of regular hand tools, a little glue and an hour or two to put them together. Made from a cigar box that you can get at any cigar store for less than a couple of dollars. The size is perfect for traveling 6" x 8" and weights less than 2 lbs when filled. Perfect for the artist who wants to carry all his/hers supplies in a very small box.
If you are interested please contact me at agwells@carolina.rr.com or by phone 704-366-9344
If you would like to know more about how to make one let me know. I have created many other items for use by water color artists to use in the outdoors. I have a watercolor easel that is easier to use that some of the commercial ones on the market today.
