This box was made by Lucia Kleinhans Mathews at The Furniture Shop, a workshop opened by Mathews, her husband, painter Arthur Frank Mathews, and entrepreneur John Zeile Jr. in 1906 following the San Francisco earthquake. The firm produced both handcrafted decorative furniture and decorative arts. The flat composition of conventionalized floral motifs, landscapes, and figures rendered in polychrome and outlined in black is characteristic of their work. This particular box was made as a gift for Lucia Mathew’s brother and sister-in-law. The inscription on the underside, “A poppy for each year,” accompanied by twenty-six poppies and a list of dates, is perhaps a reference to the years of marriage shared by the couple.

This complicated version of the box project we had to do was a little difficult due to the fact that getting the 3d box set up right was a major pain. It was hard to tell if I was putting the picture on the inside of the box, upside down, on the right side... there needs to be a better way of distinguishing what side I'm on. Other than that the project went smoothly and I think it turned out pretty well.
Noticed there were a lot of Phone Boxes on my travels, so I decided to snap them. Looks like my Kowa 6 is on it's last legs with Light leaks and dodgy cogs.

We were invited at Monica's place to try out Fox in a Box, a concept where you get a box filled with all the ingredients for a wonderful evening with friends. Needless to say we had lots of fun.
Note: box does *not* include foxy ladies.

Made for a friend to display a beautiful Pineapple Opal cluster found by her at White Cliffs, NSW, Australia - a very remote opal field. Interesting place to Google Earth, by the way. See if you can pick the entrances to the underground houses and Motel.
When I was little, this box sat up in my Mom's closet. I always wondered what was in it. It was a special box. When I grew tall enough to take a peak, I was so thrilled. Every now and again I would reach up and take a look inside, careful that no one caught me looking.
