Carry the sky around in your pocket with ‘Box Of Clouds’

Grey skies above getting you down? Then perhaps you need to invest in your own ‘Box of Clouds’ –

Photographer Kim Laughton has created his own little slice of cloudy heaven and captured it in a tin.

A photo viewer keyring dismembered and put in a tin. In this case I took off the backlight, making the LCD transparent. The button in the middle turns it on and off. Hold it up to a light source to see the clouds!

A selection of the clouds inside, they cycle every five seconds.

I got in contact with Kim to learn more..

Kim bought a selection of old tins on eBay, one of which looked fairly handmade – as if it was someone’s first metalwork project. I was from it the box of clouds was born, “it happened to fit the screen, PCB and battery perfectly. I’d also wanted to play around with removing the LCD’s backlight to make it transparent.”

USB to charge, and because the backlight has been removed the battery is good for a couple of days.

    Today, I went to the beach with my children. I found a sea shell and
    gave it to my 4 year old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear
    and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched
    her ear. She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is
    entirely off topic but I had to tell someone!

    Muchos hombres desean hacer el amor toda la noche y satisfacer plenamente a su pareja, pero no pueden hacerlo debido a su problema sexual. Si hay grandes desavenencias entre ambos, puede ser que el sexo no resulte satisfactorio o no interese.

felineship

Captain Feline employs anthropomorphism to blend pop culture with cats. The results are a collection of fun t-shirts and limited edition art prints – purr-fect for displaying a combined love of cats and cult movie characters! Whilst the debut t-shirt illustrations by Dave are inspired by cult and classic movie characters, the team plan to increase the range to feature other pop culture icons as they grow and expand.
