My model / seascape set up is finally finished, the last bit of work was the construction of the display case which is 88cms long, 17cms wide and 20cms high and made of perspex, wood and plastic, with led lighting.
One thing I am particularly pleased with is the bow wave and wake which I finished in a luminous white paint, which glows in the dark. Proof that I am just a big kid. lol

Joe Overstreet, Boxes, 1970, acrylic on constructed canvas with metal grommets and cotton rope, 292.1 x 171.5 x 121.9 cm (Art Bridges, © estate of the artist)
From a series of boxes constructed between 1987 and 2007. Most now lost in transit, given away as gifts, these only exist as the photographic documents.
Inspired by the love of Joseph Cornell,gaming machines and pop art.
So, I have recently discovered that I really love coming up with new boxes and building them. Most of my downtime at work is spent drawing and sometimes making boxes.
I have no idea if this has been done before; probably has. I find reading about making boxes utterly boring. I only like to make them. If you know of a tutorial for a similar design I'd like to see it!
This was a prototype for a box based on a historic leather book satchel. The idea is that there would be a strap attached to this box that one could hold to carry the book, and the rigid sides provide better protection than a soft bag.
The prototype worked out well but I figured out a few minor things I need to tweak. It's all one piece, which is sort of an obsession of mine.
Oh, and I need to put the button on BEFORE I put the box together, or there will be no way to close it!
The Carolina Theatre just sent me an email asking if I want to upgrade my tickets to the new $250 Legacy Box Seats. It was illustrated with this image.

A few things seemed odd in this scene.
1. The wrought iron surrounding the closet grave is broken...
2. The Raven appears to only have one leg...
3. There are some distressing faces coming out of the large tree trunk...
4. And one from the tombstone to the top left / rear of the frame...
Refer to the image notes for observations and see what you make of them!

I cheated - I got tired of my henna peeling and cracking so I went with black fabric paint. It doesn't show well on the camera, but the painted areas are color-shifting mica, which gives a neat purple-to-blue and pink-to-green effect. Swarovskis added under several coats of poly.
This is a medium-sized (roughly 10" x 7" x 5") general-purpose treasure box. I may still add dividers for the jewelry box treatment, we'll see. It's a real multi-species affair, with zebrawood front and back, figured bubinga sides, and a walnut lid.

Spotted walking across my driveway. Box turtles can live a long time 20 years or more, Unfortunately, the major causes of death for box turtles are due to human activity - cars, farm equipment, lawn mowers and so on. Also improper care when taken from the wild as "pets", destruction of habitat from development, and releasing turtles too far from where they were found. Turtles can have very small "home ranges" - around 250 square yards or less and can die trying to find their way home.
Just got this back from the manufacturers.
I think they've put the USB port on the wrong side (or on the front). They're looking into it now, but providing that is the back of the box, I can get around it :)
Lovely!
An Altoid box I painted with Sharpies and sealed with clear acrylic spray paint, although you can see that in some places, it got chipped. I use this to carry... things.
This is an Electrical Control Box very similar to the ones in School Lane and Barkfield Lane Formby. It is thought they may have been involved with the timing of street lighting.
This box was made by A Handyside & Co Ltd Derby & London.
The top of the box. Yeah, went a little crazy for something to just send a product in. But that is ok, this customer is going to get a big surprise.

Four Home Depot moving boxes taped shut and stacked next to each other inside of a U-Haul rental truck with other storage bins in the background.
This is my collection of plugs at the moment (1/2 inch). I bought the wooden box and the swirl piece and stained them both.
