Teardrop Box
Top: four teardrop twists, with two 60º pleat intersections between them.
I did a different one with four triangle twists on top (2 on each side). I´ll post it later.
Paper: stark paper, hexagon from 20x20 cm square
Each year, Gallery Route One in Point Reyes invites over a hundred artists to create unique works of art using a wooden box.
Here are the inspiring artworks they created this year: they range in style from whimsical to poignant and thought-provoking. These photos were taken on closing day, when the gallery organized a live auction for each of this year’s 150 boxes. The proceeds support the gallery’s exhibits and community programs.
Two of the boxes were created by members of our art community: Howard Rheingold (a.k.a. Dr. Rindbrain) contributed an illuminated box called ‘Magical’, while Geo Monley and Meryl Rubenstein made ‘Les Puzzles.’
Members of ‘Pataphysical Studios came to cheer for their peers -- Dr. Really was the highest bidder for Dr. Rindbrain’s piece, which was thus kept in the family. After the show, we all went to Stellina to celebrate over a nice dinner.

The box is more of a point of sale piece but part of the crisis direct mail.
The statement has power and gets straight to the point which was intended for the target audience.
Food, A bed and shelter are all human necessities so the idea is to us peoples emotions to help them to reflect on there lives.
Shelter for you and me is a house but if you ar e homeless then all you have for shelter is a box.
The Box is intended to bee left in places where people could walk past and tear away one of the contact strips on the box.
A K6 telephone kiosk and a Queen Elizabeth II Lamp Postbox stand together at Littleworth Common, Buckinghamshire.
Built by Gerstner, this Model 212 fell into my hands battered and splashed with the obligatory white latex paint. (I still don't understand why virtually every old tool box I run into has white paint stains. Has no one heard of drop cloths?)
General freight box car built in 2008. It was rebuilt in 7-studs-wide convention and exists together with brown and sand-green variations of this one :)
“Red Boxes” — Two red boxes on the sidewalk below a street art panel, Aberdeen.
This is another street photograph from the area of central Aberdeen, Scotland a bit west the Victoria Dock. There are many old and narrow streets here that twist and turn in interesting ways. Some of the streets feature a lot of street art and, unlike in some places I’ve visited and photographed, much of it stands apart for better viewing and is rarely defaced by other marks.
This one caught my attention — hard for it not too with those eyes staring back at you fro the wall! Like some similar pieces, it occupies an intended area on a concrete wall that is framed by other portions of the wall. The figure itself is interesting, but so is the setting. And in this case, those inexplicable red boxes on the sidewalk seem to change everything about the scene.
The donation box at the north entrance to the British Museum. The bills include 5 Euros, 5 British Pounds, 5 US Dollars, and 1000 Korean Won. And there are coins too. (dsc07889, cropped)
This is my take on a 3 string cigar box slide guitar.
This was my first build of a cigar box guitar, and as you can probably guess i didn't use a cigar box and instead i used an old wooden chess board i had in the house, which i think gave the guitar a fantastic look right from the start.
I pieced together ideas from various sources but mainly a great book i got online which was very helpful.
As i was finding it quite difficult to get my hands on hardwood i had to use what i could and due to that i decided to make this one fretless as i couldn't a suitable piece.
The overall cost of this guitar was around £30 and sounds really cool.
Materials -
wooden chess board
Red Meranti for the neck
Oak for the headstock add on and bridges.
Now just to learn how to play it before i build my next!
Cliburn signal box - one of nine on the route - looked after the adjacent level crossing and controlled access into a goods yard which boasted cattle pens and coal handling facilities. There was only a single running line, serving a platform on the Down side. This accommodated the main building, next to which was the station master's house.
Closure came to Cliburn in September 1956 although through trains continued, requiring the signal box to remain open. But the route succumbed on the same day as Stainmore: 22nd January 1962.
The signal box immediately entered a period of decline; its windows smashed and innards gutted. Some repair work was undertaken in the 1970s but 2012 saw its complete refurbishment, opening as a self-catering holiday let with an extension to the rear.
Red mosaic box including: glass, marbles, semi-precious stones, beads, shards, pebbles, nuggets, glass jewels, butterfies, ladybirds etc.
Wood base, painted inside and bottom and lined in red velvet.
A custom piece for Heike.
I only need five more blocks, but I think I may start to arrange these a bit so I can see how much white I want in those last five blocks. I got a kick out of the blocks on the top right...just a half inch square surrounded by white :)
Boxes stamped with Yellow Owl Workshop's Cityscape set. Very happy-making.

Welton Gate Box is situated between Melton Lane and Brough on the Gilberdyke to Hull line.
The gates are normally closed to road users and the signals in the off position. Because of the close proximity of the boxes to one another we see Melton Lane's distant signal sharing the same posts as Welton's home signal. in the opposite direction Brough Easts distant signal is similarly mounted beneath Welton's home peg.
Here the driver gives a wave as 185126 glides by the crossing at 15.19 hrs with 1K16 the 13.41 Manchester Piccadily - Hull Paragon service, seen on Friday 31st July 2015.
Another rest day !!! That's two in two weeks.
I'm very conscious that whilst I have these signalling riches on my doorstep I need to get them visited as soon enough I'll be moving on and they'll be a whole lot trickier to find time to visit. Rest days are few and far between but a concerted effort needs to be made to get out more with the camera.
This one saw a very leisurely start visiting in this order
Hull Paragon
Hessle Road
Welton Gate Box
Melton Lane
Crabley Creek
Five very different boxes
I took a myriad of shots , if and when time allows I'll return with more signalling type shots but for now I have just posted one for each location and all featuring a train.

After months of working hard to avoid the dreaded "box with wings" look while building the Manticore, I needed a change of pace. I therefore built a box with wings, literally.
In the interest of being as cliche as possible, the Box With Wings features wheel engines.
Sorry buddy, no means no! This male box turtle was attempting to mate with this female, but she thwarted his efforts by retreating into her shell (she was already in her shell when I encountered them). If the female was carrying eggs, they were probably already fertilized which is a possible reason for the rejection. Female box turtles can store sperm for months or even years, but I am not sure if they do so when their current clutch is already fertilized. Maybe one of you can help answer this question??

AA Box, Aysgarth, Wensleydale, 13 Jul 2021
I love the way the Yellow Loosestrife complements the AA Yellow.
In the early 1960s there were 862 AA sentry boxes scattered around the country.
It is thought that 21 of the original AA boxes remain in situ at the roadside.
Most of these are now listed buildings.
The Aysgarth box is Grade II listed.
