Artist Lie Fhung is starting a new art project she's calling Dream Archives that will involve Kolo Havana Boxes:

I just wanted to share with you the process of my first experimentation with a KOLO Havana Box. Well, well, well, I am very impressed with how sturdy and durable the KOLO Havana Box is! I was surprised to find out that it was made with wooden board instead of book's binder board as my initial guess. It took me a hack saw to cut a window on the lid! Next, I wanted to burn out the small window on the front wall to provide an opening to peek through. Well, guess what? It wouldn't got burned! Well, it might eventually get burned if exposed to open flame for hours, I guess... I did singe the fabric lining a bit, but the paper itself persisted. I had prepared a small bucket of water with dampened cloth nearby beforehand just in case - but it was proven to be totally unnecessary! I was using a small lighter and after a while I just couldn't stand the heat on my finger so I had to give up and just used a cutter instead. Even with a cutter it wasn't easy! Now, isn't it something to say about the quality of KOLO Havana Box?

Here are a couple of photos of the progress. I got really impulsive playing with the paint there - didn't plan to cover it so much, but I had fun with it and I will continue working on it...
