Thinking inside the Box

I showed you my Box City a while back. It was made for my FiberWorks group where we were to make a display using little boxes in any way we wanted. It started out to be just matchboxes, but evolved into using any kind of small boxes. The variety was amazing.

We finally found a venue for our boxes at a charming bakery in Oxford C, The Oxford Baking Co., that has a gallery in their upstairs space and we hung the show this past Sunday.

Jessica Tell sent images to Spoon Flower and had them printed onto fabric, which she quilted and combined with interesting papers.

Chris Wilkinson used Home as her theme, since she was moving into a new home.

This is my Box City with wire armatures wrapped in different variegated yarns. I had so much fun finding different ways to pose my people going about their day

.

Susie Lehman used games as her theme. All of the game pieces came from her home.

 Nike Cutsumpas put her famous black and white doodles in the boxes and then put them all in this shadow box, (boxes in a box). It was hard to photograph because of the glass. You can see my image reflected.

Barbara Drillick used a variety of objects sewn into her boxes in her usual meticulous style and lined with colored papers.

Ruth Savasta used travel as her theme and made each of her boxes into a shadow box with a photo travel destinations.

Beth Johnson used jewelry boxes gifted to her by her husband over the years. She combined these with some interesting painting techniques.

Paula West's them was Rock, Paper, Scissors as her theme. A lot to look at here.

I will be linking up with Off the Wall Friday.
