Dear Cathy Farwell (BOX Art organizer extraordinaire),
After prototyping the BOXware PlayBook Stand to promote the amazing BOX 11 Art Show & Sale (coming Nov 12-13 – only 3 weeks away!), I got thinking about schwag for the office. Of course! A Door Sign!
A quick spin back to the drawing board and hot off the laser cutter came this sharp-looking sign to hang from any office door handle. Helping out this time with the test-drive is Waterloo Regional Chair, Mr. Ken Seiling and Waterloo Region’s Chief Administrative Officer, Mr. Mike Murray (above).
As you know, the Region of Waterloo owns the awesome Rumpel Felt property at Victoria and Duke Streets where BOX11 is happening this year. Great to have them on board as one of the BOX11 sponsors! The talk on Nov 12 “Exploring Historical Roots of Creativity” with Prof. Geoffrey Hayes of UW’s History Dept. sounds really cool. Will be interesting to learn more on some of the historical connections with the Rumpel Felt Factory.
Now, let’s see this Door Sign…
in action! Yep, it seems to be working.
In addition to the rastered BOX logo, I incorporated a knock-out “corrugation motif” that turned out pretty well.
This was actually…
my first…
visit…
to the Region’s…
office.
I’m sure one of my readers can tell me what this cool round part is facing Frederick St.
Thanks again, fellows, for the help.
Hey, look, it works on a variety of door handles. Hope to see you all ***only 3 weeks!*** at BOX11. Go ahead and put it in your calendar: Saturday Nov 12 and Sunday Nov 13. Get the official scoop on the BOX website.
Hmmm, I wonder if there’s enough time before the show to think up a few more BOXware ideas…
Happy making,
DW
That would be great DW … to have more… if you have time? I love, love BOXware schwag!
The Region has been a wonderful partner helping out with BOX 11 – and aren’t Ken and Mike both photogenic ? Good shots!
Darin, would you be up for displaying some your BOXware at BOX 11, so that people can enjoy the incredible details of these works of art?
I would be happy to show the BOXware at BOX11, Cathy.

I want to buy a BOX11 door sign!
Alright, so that’s one door sign for H., and one PlayBook stand for Benjamin Bach.

And the round part out front… that’s Regional Council Chambers… where all the big discussions and decisions about our Region are made. You should go sometime, just for fun 🙂
Hey, thanks Juanita! Been a long time since we chatted at kwartzlab 2(!) years ago.
DW
2 years!?! really? I’ve got to come again then! TON still on? I should bring my knitter friends for a Tuesday night outing 🙂
TON at kwartzlab *is* still on, though I’m no longer with the lab. Spending all my hours on makebright and other ventures now.
