Altering sardine cans is really fun!Since so many people like Frida Kahlo I am hosting on this theme.This sardine can is from Patty Szymkowicz. Her blog is: http://bitze.wordpress.com For this swap you will recycle a sardine can and alter in any way you want.It can be a shrine ,a wall hanging, a doll,etc..Use any medium you want, fabric,paint,fun objects,etc... I consider this a time consuming craft.We dont want to see only 2 flower stickers around Frida,be creative! Sorry but no newbies,no unexplained bad rattings and you must login 4 days before the swap partners are given.I will ban people that have not been online. HAVE FUN!

can i use a tin of other sorts?

Frida Kahlo is esp appropriate to me bc my favourite tin art pieces, especially wall sconces, tend to be Mexico-made. I eyeballed an awesome sardines tin last week but I don't eat them so didn't buy it. Now it wouldn't be wasteful. ;) (I bet my cat would eat them.)

For this swap I would like the tin can to be a sardine one.There has been many swaps for altoid tins but sardine cans is a little less known,so I think it would be better to experiment with this shape.For a future swap,maybe I will host ones that are a little more unusual like round tuna fish cans ,soda cans,etc.. I have seen that in Mexico there are crafty people that make shrines with sardine cans called "nichos".

I'm more of smoked oyster kind of girl...same can shape/size just different innards...please confirm it's just the shape we're going for?

yesh 05/24/2010 #

Yep, a similar shape is fine (if they are kind of rectangular and deep enough to decorate inside). Remember everybody that sardines are full of omega 3 s so crafting with these can be a bonus to your health ! Lol
