Yes, my infatuation with birds, bird nests...all things winged; it continues....Along with my need to give new life and repurpose something headed for the trash. I made this little treasure box out of a recycled ALTOID mint tin.....I sanded the tin a bit to roughen it up so my silver paint would adhere. Then I added wooden knobs for feet(glue) and painted them black with a thin stripe along the top. I collaged the inside and out with whimsical images, stickers, glitter and a coat of glass sealer to finish it all up. Inside i tucked a vintage key with a collage art funky tag. Who would of thought a little mint tin could be transformed into a miniature piece of art?! Reuse and recycle....and think of me when you take that last mint from your ALTOID tin.....happy recycling!
