Found in the abandoned Ford house outside Minco, Oklahoma. There's a 1959 penny, some buttons, a pair of glasses (bifocals), a bead necklace, and a brass football charm, among other things. Think it may have belonged to the mother, Sandra. It's an interesting example of "curated" artifacts, in that the house was built in the early 1900s, likely abandoned in the late 1990s, and these artifacts date from the 1950s-1970s. I was tempted to take the football charm.
You can see what it looks like without the vellum.

I created this box using an empty Altoids candy tin box. I covered the top with Sculpey Ultra Light clay before I painted it with acrylic paing. I glued a tiny mirror to the top inside half of the box. For the bottom, I took a vector art piece (which is based on one of my own photographs of a ball-jointed resin pig doll that is manufactured by Goodreau Dolls) and glued it to the bottom before I covered it with two layers of Modge Podge. Then I poured just enough resin to cover the bottom.

The Eastern box turtle is one of four sub-species of box turtles found east of the Mississippi and is the most common terrestrial turtle in the eastern United States. The box turtle is named for its ability to completely box up inside its shell when it feels threatened (NCwildlife.org). Male and female box turtles are sexually dimorphic as adults. Adult males are most often larger than females and males also have a concave indention in the rear lobe of their plastron (NCwildlife.org). When I picked up the turtle I could tell there was an indention deeper than what would be expected of a female thus leading me to believe this is a male Eastern Box Turtle. The importance of the indention becomes apparent during breeding when mounting females.
Not a surprise to find this little guy in Pine Forest B on campus as this location is moist with a couple vernal pools. The Eastern Box turtle is omnivorous, feeding on mushrooms, plant stems, leaves, and numerous other types of food. Box turtles are important ecologically as they disperse and facilitate germination of certain plant seeds through the eating of berries as well as controlling the population of injurious insects to humans (van Dijk).

The box is a very nice and thick cardboard. There’s ribbon on the top panel and a bow tied in the back.
Brancaster Staithe, Norfolk. AA telephone box for breakdowns. Crikey I can remember when every member was issued with a key and the mechanics on their motorcycles with sidecars would salute members displaying AA badges on their cars. The only other surviving AA box I'm aware of is at Devil's Bridge in Wales
Here are some pictures of my handmade cigar box uke ... which is incomplete. It still needs a bridge. I really like the way it looks now though! The inlayed star (my first time trying inlay... in case you couldn´t tell) is a river clam found in Redwood Falls, and so is the S in the soundhole. The wood of the neck was trashpicked, and the wood of the fingerboard is from a broken beach chair handle. The tuners are classical guitar tuners cut and carved to match. I can´t wait to get a sound out of this thing!
My Great-grandfather made this wooden box-it dates from late Victorian,I guess. It nearly falls apart.
For many years now I keep my art cards in it.
It's one of my treasures, and it tells me how old I am!
I was a bit alarmed when I saw that there was a huge dent in the side of the box. I'm happy to say that none of the key were damaged.
The plastic mixing area detatches from the lid. In fact, this whole thing comes apart and is easy to clean. They also give you a nice, meaty brush.
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.
