One of two trinket boxes I made for the Potion Shoppe, the Eurobricks collaborative display at Brickworld Chicago 2019.
...Brey’s “boxes” are only boxes in a single sense. They appear ordinary and familiar from the outside, but at the point of contact, interaction or performance they begin to unfold. The material and situational complexity of works like Sutra, 2010, The Black Cube, 2012, Water 2013, The Uncanny, 2015 and others, reveal themselves to be constellations within a Caribbean universe. Through them, Brey speaks to the infinity of the natural world, the sublime possibilities of one’s dreams and imagination. In part, thee works also act as psychological container of fractured history, blurred and concise memories and through material, form and experience, enter the fifth dimension. ( Fragment from “Adrift”, 2019 )
This oversized shoe box has been Captain's go to resting spot since I brought it home a couple weeks ago. He can rest his head on the side.
In Southchurch Road, City of Southend-On-Sea, Essex. The post box was made by Andrew Handyside and Co Ltd at the Britannia Works, Derby.
As the aperture is not close off, I am assuming that this post box is still in use.

Some of the first telephone boxes to grace Dublin's streets. Installation was in preparation for the thousands of people who descended on the capital from all over Ireland, and from all over the world, for the 31st International Eucharistic Congress in June 1932.
Would love to hear from anyone with more information on telephone boxes in Ireland. According to the excellent Come Here To Me! blog, Dublin's first telephone kiosk appeared in May 1925.
Thanks very much to woodworker_34 who worked out that these boxes were being installed outside the old Ballast House on O'Connell Bridge. You can actually see them in this 1932 British Pathé newsreel footage: A Million People Kneel in Prayer, at 2:00 to 2:03 mark.
Date: Spring 1932

The substantial Caledonian Railway type N3 signal box at Fouldubs Junction was built in 1908 with a 77 lever frame that was increased to 80 levers in 1951 before being reduced to 40 levers in 1972 after the locking was overhauled. It stands at the junction of the one time Orchardhall branch which wasn't actually a branch but a through line to Falkirk via Bainsford Junction. It was the fact either end belonged to different companies the North British and the Caledonian which got it the designation a branch line. It closed in 1968 as a through route although the eastern end between the British Aluminium Plant at Orchardhall and here at Fouldubs Junction remained operational until 1991. The box is located on the freight only Grangemouth branch and now just controls movements towards Grangemouth Docks and Grangemouth Oil Refinery as well as adjacent freight terminal sidings.
Being a freight line I guess there was plenty of spare time between trains hence the signalman's splendid array of Geraniums in the box windows and the raised bed veg plot at the foot of the box steps.

These have now been removed from their previous location.
This is my piece for the Cubes & Cylinders: The BoxFox Art Show at Munky King this weekend in Celebration of my pal Coopers 11th Birthday. It's inspired by Super Coopers Box Fox characters it's made of chipboard and spray paint and sits in a 30" x 30" wood box with a plexiglass front.
The imposing signal box at Aberystwyth, was the largest supplied by Dutton & Co. to the Cambrian Railway. Opened in 1893 and to the Dutton type 2 design with roofed porch/landing, it originally contained a Dutton frame of 78 levers, which was replaced in Great Western days with a 100 lever Horizontal Tappet frame. Note the wonderful concrete post lower quadrant bracket signals provided by the GWR, which were replacements for the original Dutton signals. The one on the right was later replaced with a tubular post bracket signal by the London Midland Region. Aberystwyth signal box closed on 25th April 1982.
When people ask me if I'm Matt, and assume "Unpacking" is some kind of thinly-veiled autobiography, I can prove it's fiction by pointing to the fact that unpacking my boxes is one of the first things I do whenever I move.
Also: I am not nearly as sarcastic.
A Double Queen Elizabeth II post box on High Steet, Hungerford.
The left side has a 'stamped mail' official sign, the right, a very unofficial printed sticker reading 'More Love Letters Please'.
I found this old wooden box with metal studs just sitting on the bed. It was square, and it spoke to me of an interesting history and being treasured & loved by its owner

Deboxing Teal Jasmine. First the outer cardboard cover is removed, by simply sliding it off the box. There is still a plastic cover protecting the doll inside. Then the inner plastic cover and rear cardboard cover are removed, leaving the inner cardboard backing, to which the doll is attached. The backing can stand on its own. The doll is now in clear view. The Certificate of Authenticity is removed from below the backing.
Detailed photos of my pre-ordered Teal Jasmine 17 inch doll. I picked her up on release day (Tuesday October 13, 2015) from my local Disney Store. She is #1834 of 5000. She has a similar color difference between her torso and the rest of her body (including her head) as that of my Red Jasmine doll. There is golden sheen in her torso that is especially noticeable in her neck and upper chest. I like Teal Jasmine much more than I thought I would from my initial look at the stock photos and even seeing the display doll in person, although Red Jasmine is still my favorite of the two.
She is photographed boxed, during deboxing, and fully deboxed. She is also posed with other comparable dolls.

waiting for the paint to dry on the polymer clay, I thought I would try a painting like I did the other night in my composition notebook (flower doodles). I used a cat food box (10x14) that I had covered with pieces of paper and glue, gessoed. Then I made circles with Intense Watersouble Pencils, went over with a water brush to dilute the ink and make them more vibrant. Then I sprayed Dylusions Ink over that in various places, misted water over them to get them to run a bit. After they were all dry, I dribbled liquid matte medium onto the painting and used a roller to lightly spread the medium. The roller has a texture from years of use, so that's why you can see texture in the background. After that all dried, I went over the flowers with Pitt Pen, Gel Pen and some Silks by Luminarte. I think that's all.

Thank you to everyone who pauses long enough to look at my photo. All comments and Faves are very much appreciated
These two red telephone boxes were not in the greatest condition but they both had working telephones in them.
I enjoyed my visit to Coventry thanks for all your comments on my pictures.
I really like how these photos look like collector's. They are wearing some of the newest fashion packs. Also, notice Asha/AA doll is there--still hope for her being produced! Maybe we'll get a wave 2?!
This is a box for a 3-D Dimension Viewer made by View-Master. This is a device for viewing 3-D images on a paper disk. It was originally marketed as a way for viewers to enjoy stereograms of tourist attractions.
“Carry On Collecting” is a project set up by the Museum of Hartlepool to collect objects which represent everyday life in the town and beyond, from the 1950s through to the present day. The collection also attempts to represent the diversity of the people of Hartlepool over the past 60 years
Little boxes on the hillside,
Little boxes made of ticky-tacky,
Little boxes, little boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
And the people in the houses
All go to the university,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
And there's doctors and there's lawyers
And business executives,
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
And they all play on the golf-course,
And drink their Martini dry,
And they all have pretty children,
And the children go to school.
And the children go to summer camp
And then to the university,
And they all get put in boxes
And they all come out the same.
And the boys go into business,
And marry, and raise a family,
And they all get put in boxes,
Little boxes, all the same.
There's a green one and a pink one
And a blue one and a yellow one
And they're all made out of ticky-tacky
And they all look just the same.
