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.
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 new Dongfeng Box is one of the cheapest electric cars in the Netherlands. For the first time Dongfeng is selling cars here under its own brand name. The Box will be competing with the Dacia Spring and the new Citroën ë-C3.

Thank you very much for sharing, Evi!!
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?)
Paper: 10 cm Grainy
Model: Tomoko Fuse
Book: Beautiful Boxes 1 p. 20-21 (var. A)
A beautiful thick paper hopefully makes a nice box. Tip of the lid was hard to fold due to thickness.
The paper holds creases really well, which makes the folding a pleasure.
My own hand drawn copy of the track layout/ illuminated diagram that was at Carterhouse Junction Widnes in 1987.
The Story
In the summer I was lucky enough to spend 3 weeks on a Route 69 Road Trip in the USA. Part of the trip took us to The Joshua Tree National Park on the edge of which this shot was taken. In the UK we dont hve mail boxes so this was a real novelty to me and my kiddies
The Shot
3 exposure shot (-1,0,+1) from using my D200 and a Nikon 12-24mm lens handheld
Opened in Photomatix with detail enhancer set to default.
Then modified using Topaz Adjust , to increase colour and sharpness.
Saturation then boosted and areas of noise reduced.
The noise reduced with Noiseware .
Sensor dust spots and blemishes removed and frame added.
Music
Return to Sender- Elvis Presley

Organizing all my documents for life, school, and work in a large box folder. Soon I will have to expand and use several box folders.
Not quite done - still fiddling with the unditching beam and wrestling the tow cable - but I thought I'd do some presentation experiments.
Obviously inspired by Tamiya boxes, in particular the Fat Boy Lo.
Boxes stamped with Yellow Owl Workshop's Cityscape set. Very happy-making.

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.
Brayton Signal Box was a NER designed box that was situated south of Selby on the East Coast Main Line. It controlled rail traffic at Brayton Junction which was the route from Selby off to the port town of Goole which branched off the ECML. It became a Gate Box in 1973 controlling the level crossing and closed on 6th March 1988. The box has long been demolished.
What's in the box then?
Answer: A Canon Speedlite 430EX, a bowl of warm water and some dry ice pellets. The Speedlite was triggered wirelessly and was positioned behind the bowl of warm water.
I had to move quickly with this shot due to the high levels of humidity accumulating in the suitcase. My poor flashgun seems to have survived though.
We have some Irish friends, who think Cape Cod is just about all right, particularly Provincetown. We are much of their opinion. But they never go there without being entirely grossed out by all the salt water taffy. Taffy, pronounced with an aggressively flat æ digraph, is a soft, sticky candy that is always sold wrapped up in a twist of wax paper, to protect it, presumably, from the moist sea air. I haven't been anywhere, on either coast, where it isn't made and sold as a necessary part of the shore experience. I don't think the tourists would ever go home, if it wasn't for this stuff, ripping out their fillings.
I sometimes think that our Irish friends take exception to the pronunciation of the word, perhaps thinking it's a Yankee mangling of the insular English word, toffee. Indeed, we have toffee, too, but it's a different animal, entirely. Maybe they resent the use of a word that is a tribal slur in England for the Welsh. Hard to say. They might not have a taste for it. I mean, they actually eat and enjoy Turkish delight, which is just nasty.
Oh, yes, this box suggests a piece of salt water taffy to me. I'm highly impressionable and maybe a little impressionistic.
Lego 10708 Green Creativity Box builds. These are the builds in the instruction book. There are also pictures of other builds you could make. I will most likely be scavenging from this for other projects. There are three other Creativity Boxes available in blue, red and orange.
My recently acquired Japanese Sankyo music box 72N 3Airs (72 notes 3 songs)
This glass model is made by the Japanese Music Box Company, NIDEC
It plays 72notes 3 songs by FF Chopin :
polonaise
tristesse
fantasie impromptu op.66
Japan is the only Asian country which manufacture high end mechanical winding music box.
These damn things have always fascinate me. It's interesting to see how the pins on the cylinder pluck the tuned comb as it rotates sounding out the beautifully resonant notes.
By arranging the pins and fashioning the comb teeth to reproduce specific notations in the musical scale it could made to produce an endless array of tunes very much like a mechanical piano. Brilliant idea. These are the great grand father of the record player and CD player.
Another design is by using a rotating disc with specifically cut hooks which strike a star wheel to produce the required musical tones. Both design are mechanical marvels.
I love them all
