Mixed Media Monday - Metal


When you mention metal and art in the same sentence, I immediately jump to altered tins. They are one of my current obsessions as you know. In fact, I have been known to purchase product that I don't really want in order to obtain the tin that houses it! I liked the shape of this one and began working on it by layering tissue and scrapbook papers with beeswax then adding bits of torn napkins to create a garden scene. This is my submission for this week's Mixed Media Monday challenge.
