A bit of a common one but I couldn't resist a selective colour of this red telephone box at Loughborough Station.
Paper: 15 cm
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Beautiful Boxes 1 (Box C p. 30-31, with base p. 10)
I wanted to try Julia's kaleidoscopic Paper on a box and that one seemed a good choise even though it's not hexagonal, for it shows lots of the paper.
Finding box turtles in the wild and taking them as pets, even for a short period, can have detrimental effects. Box turtles want to stay within the area where they were hatched.

A gorgeous Box Bug on leaves of Scilla peruviana in the front garden. This was one of those species that eluded my searches for so many years, and now one turns up in the garden. What a fabulous visitor.
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.

This one suddenly appeared flying across my office and landed on a power lead...

As requested... BIGGER!
The impressive North British Railway signal box at Reedsmouth, stood on the platform in the vee of the junction of the Border Counties and Wansbeck Valley Railways. It replaced an earlier lower structure in the same location and contained a 50 lever Stevens & Sons frame, with only 5 spare levers. It remained open until complete closure of the line between Woodburn and Bellingham in November 1963. However, it escaped demolition and for many subsequent years became increasingly derelict before being converted into a dwelling. Sadly, in the process it has lost most of its original features.
For being unable to approach Strangers on the streets, I've started to document street art on painted electricity boxes. They have attracted my attention for this COVID-19 time being project.

For A Painter...
What I envy about painters is that they generally do their art in one place. A studio. You don't meet many mobile painters.
To do my thing, I have to move around. That moving around allows me to see things. The one-off things are generally related to other things that I have seen. And sometimes I am able to piece those things back to people I know or know of.
And so it is with me and weird boxed-in old houses. They exist and I'm drawn to them. They are odd. They make me uneasy but they are also comforting, somehow.
This one was deliberately seen for Jennifer Conneely, the painter. www.instagram.com/alonerjen_art/ Who's painting work I admire and draw inspiration from. She works static, in one place. I told her I'd be her legs for houses that are surrounded.

Lidded box with Dachshund millefiori cane decoration. The dachshund cane was my second attempt at a really complicated millefiori cane.....whew it took me ages, 2 weeks to be precise and once finished weighed a whopping 1.2 kg. After reduction I had a bit more than half left and its a bit more wonky than I hoped it would be, I think I need to practise this a lot....but not now I'm a bit canned out after all that! Now what am I going to do with all that dachshund cane!

**The doll on the left has a re-root.
PERSONAL FUN FACT: Hubba, hubba! I honestly cannot believe that this Momma Heart doll (on left) is the same shabby, forgotten lady that I rescued from a local charity store. During the fall of 2017, Colleen and I found Momma on our way home from a dentist appointment. I was hoping to score at least one doll that afternoon, but instead came home with a handful of lucky dollies and even some clothes/odds and ends. Momma was probably my favorite find of the day...yes, she even beat Poopsy Pets Avery who was on my imaginary wish list. It's not all that often I find an adult Heart Family doll. For whatever reason, I always seem to have good luck when it comes to stumbling upon the kid Heart Family dolls...and the original Mr. Heart is never hard to find either. When I spotted Momma's bright yellow gown, I was most excited--I knew instantaneously what it went to. I was even more overjoyed when I saw her face and knew this doll was the Surprise Party! Mom. But then upon further inspection, I realized her once beautiful, ashy brown hair had been hacked. And by hacked, I mean it was genuinely butchered. The previous owner took it upon themselves to give Momma Heart a mullet--more than a quarter of her hair in the front had been cut very short. I felt a pang of sadness in my heart for her. I decided that I would purchase her anyways and see what I could do for her at home. Even if her hair was not worth re-rooting, I knew her outfit and body would be useful. After cleaning her up (she was pretty darn filthy..especially her lips), I was even more heartbroken. Had she not received a haircut, this doll would have looked like brand new. I felt a connection to this lovely lady, and thought it would be too much of a waste to use her as a donor, even though her haircut was bad enough to warrant it. So I took leftover hair I had from another re-root, and filled in all the empty plugs (see my "Dolly Transformations" album for before/after pictures). I wasn't expecting for Momma to turn out as beautifully as she did. But this red color does WONDERS for her--Momma's brilliant blue eyes simply pop out against her new hair. She is by far the most attractive Mrs. Heart doll in my collection...I'm pretty sure all the Mr. Heart dolls will be fighting over her (luckily for Surprise Party! Mr. Heart, he gets dibs). This doll was a true gem, and I'm so glad that I found her that fateful day--she needed to find a doll momma who could fix her correctly and give her all the love and respect she so rightfully deserved. The best part of this story is that she even got reunited with most of her family--I already had Surprise Party! Mr. Heart and Baby Girl...if only Baby Boy had been present at the charity store too.
Having spent a considerable time on my first Surprise Party Mom, I recognized my duplicate on the right. She was part of the infamous "Mountains of Monsters Lot," which contained 166 dollies!!! This enormous bin, which consisted of two huge boxes, was actually an incredibly generous gift. I was floored by the sheer magnitude of what we'd been given. Clearly, some dolls were straight from someone's collection. Others, like Momma Heart, were probably salvaged from thrift stores/secondhand places with the intention of being saved. This doll did fare better than many of her fellow plastic comrades. She had a body and was wearing an outfit (that belonged to my beloved 1988 Garden Party Barbie). Despite her age and squalor, I knew she'd clean up wonderfully. However, I did note something of interest. She sported the SAME mullet as my first doll. I suppose this must have been a tacky factory hairdo? It must be hard to spot in boxes, since the dolls' hair is most likely gelled/hair sprayed down. I'm not upset that I re-rooted my first gal (the red makes her ravishing). After a boil wash and day at the spa, lady number two is stunning. The quality of her saran hair is impressive, and she even still has her factory jewelry! Normally, I'd have given her the lone original dress. But my first doll is such a babe, I couldn't steal it from her. It worked out wonderfully anyways. A year later, in 2024, I found an inexpensive lot of Heart Family clothes. That's where this gown originated from!
