I’m going to my high school reunion in an hour an a half and I need to make some decisions. Outfit options include (but are not limited to):

#can’t decide if i want an outfit that says ‘guess who turned out to be queer’ or ‘guess who turned out to be neurodivergent’ #i need more outfits that do both i guess

Collage box collection

After discovering that I had a reasonably big stash of interesting flyers, greetings cards, guidebooks and other bits of ephemera, and seeing this tutorial, I was really inspired to use it all for something.

This was helped by the fact that recently I've found a lot of really nice wooden boxes in charity shops for very cheap - all the ones pictured here were £2. Either I've been extremely lucky, or these things turn up very often and I just haven't been looking for them.

I've posted about some of these previously (here and here), but they were only half done and these pictures are better! Plus there is one new one.

First was this wooden chocolate box. Before...

And after!

You can tell this is my first one as I oversatured the paper with Mod Podge, leading to it bubbling and creasing, but for a first attempt I don't think it's bad at all.

All the pictures I used were taken from an exhibition guide for an event I went to called "Exploring the Gothic" which contained a lot of beautiful pictures. The floral parts were from a pad of scrapbooking paper, which I also used to make the individual compartments (they are origami boxes, see a tutorial for how to make them here) and I then filled them with pieces from my collection of beads, charms, and broken jewellery.

I also had a guide to a William Blake exhibition I'd been to, and since there was an entire plate from "The Marriage of Heaven and Hell" I had to make it into a miniature wall plaque.

I did this one at the same time as the first, and again you can kind of see that I oversatured the paper which caused it to tear slightly, however thankfully it wasn't in an area where there was any writing.

(BTW, if anyone is interested in the meaning of this section, Blake is describing his creative process, albeit in a fantastical way. This blog post gives a good analysis)

The next one was a beautiful little cabinet with a broken handle.

And here is what I did with it. I kept the collaging to a minimum, only on the inside, though I might add something to the outside in the future. The replacement "handles" are a pair of my earrings!

I used some more of the gothic exhibition guide and scrapbook paper, and also a flyer for a ballet version of Dracula. I need to find some more interesting things to fill it as it currently only contains my resin crow's skull and a miniature book of Tennyson poems. Also my Cthulhu candle gets to sit on top and be worshipped by the skeleton on the right door.

I did much better with the collaging process on this one. I was a lot more patient, used less Mod Podge for each layer and allowed them to dry fully in between, resulting in no tears, bubbles or creasing.

The final and most recent is this plain box. I noticed it originally came from somewhere called "Palmyra Hardware" which instantly made me think of the Palmyra Wolves (I'm a fan of MrBallen and saw him tell the story on his YouTube channel) which gives a pleasantly creepy angle to this one before I even did anything to it!

After collaging

The central image on the outside is another William Blake painting, an illustration to Dante's Inferno, which includes the famous quote "Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here". The writing saying "The way, the truth, the life" came from a religious leaflet that a friend of mine was forcibly given, and which he ripped to shreds, but I saved this part because for some reason I liked it.

Inside we've got a very famous Blake painting called "The Ancient of Days", the praying skeleton again as this image was reproduced several times in that guidebook, and a block printed demon from a handmade birthday card that a friend gave me several years ago. I'm very pleased to have finally been able to use him for something!

I've enjoyed making all of these immensely and no doubt I will do more in the future as I collect more papers and find more nice boxes 😊

In a city, in an apartment, in a bedroom, in the back of a closet there’s an open shoebox covered in a layer of dust.

In a city, in an apartment, picking the front door lock is a man who has never seen the apartment but knew the woman who once lived there and a girl who never knew the woman who once lived there (at least not in the way one would usually consider knowing) but has seen the apartment (if looking in windows counts as seeing).

Soon the man who knew the woman and the girl who knows the apartment will successfully pick the lock. They will walk through the apartment and the man will resist the urge to pick up the cardigan draped over the couch to see if it still smells like old coffee, cigarette smoke(evidence of a habit she tried to break), and floral scented shampoo and the girl will resist the urge to ask more questions about its owner.

They’ll make their way through the modest apartment, untouched for a decade now, and the girl, who has enough curiosity for two little girls, will poke her head into every door they pass. The bathroom with products still on the counter and a toothbrush lying in wait for its owner who won’t be back. A room that would be entirely empty if not for the half built crib in the center and the wallpaper samples taped to one wall. She will want to ask questions but a glance up at the man will have her holding her tongue.

They’ll make it to the last room at the end of the hall. A bedroom. Her bedroom. Where she rests.

Or, rather, rested.

Past tense.

The man does not want to think about where she rests now.

If it wasn’t for the dust on everything, it would be easy to imagine the woman had just popped out to run errands and that she’d be back any time now. There were marks of her everywhere: an unmade bed, a flimsy paperback on the nightstand, a vanity with letters tucked into the mirror and a cushioned stool in the space beneath it, an opened closet door with clothes neatly hung and shoes in a perfect row, a wingback chair positioned in the corner with a robe draped over the back of it.

He lowers himself onto the bed, closes his eyes, and tries not to think about how the smell of her has faded.

In a city, in an apartment, in a bedroom, in the back of a closet there’s an open shoebox covered in a layer of dust and there are a pair of small hands grabbing it. The girl who did not know the woman, but desperately wishes she had, is taking it to the man who knew the woman but desperately wishes he didn’t have to speak of her in past tense.

Inside the shoebox there are ticket stubs. There are playbills and pamphlets, a red feather from a night long ago, handwritten notes similar to those on the vanity. Ephemera of a life lived. Each item is removed and carefully set aside.

And at the bottom of the box, there are a stack of photos.

The man who knew the woman picks up the photos with trembling hands and a sort of reverence reserved for holy things. The girl wants to ask about the people pictured, wants to know more about the woman who owned this apartment, but to her shock, she does not have to ask anything. The man who knew and loved the woman, his sister, and knew and loved everyone else in the photos, softly begins to speak on his own accord.

Back when the obsession was floral fussy cutting for me. I added them literally EVERYWHERE. And now I don’t have the time, but to be honest it was a very therapeutic thing to do..
