Tin can box

This is something I have been working on lately too.
It is made from a Ortega 4 ounce diced green chili can.

I like how it is hard to find the can.
It is also very busy, I like busy like this.
It has little feet on the bottom and they have angels in front of them.

You can see how big it is when I hold it in my hand.
Perfect for special treasures.

I am liking this very much. It was fun to make. It is using recycled materials. I think it is beautiful.

You can see the can now!
Have a great Tuesday.
Create a new way today.

    Me either Pam. I keep having small glimpses of other things to do with tin cans. ;-D
    Life is good. Not a tin can is safe now.
