One Powerful Hour - Recycle Your Sardine Tins

I am lucky enough to be the Example on One Powerful Hour this week. This is the piece I did for it.

Sardine Tin Shrine

This started life as a Sardine tin which I hate (yuck) so I had to get this off my Mum. I painted the whole tin with acrylic paint did not like that LOL so then I covered the inside with decopatch. All the watch pieces and hands are old reclaimed items as I do love to use old things when I can. The wings and star crown are cut from metal and then alcohol inked and stuck on with hot glue with a little gem to finish it off. The image is from a cemetery Angles sheet from Collage stuff and the wrought iron image stamped on the acetate is Paper Artsy.
With taking off the time allowed for drying I was actually surprised how quick this was to make and I came in well under the hour.

Christmas Decoration

The theme on This Thursday this week is Marvelous Metalics

This looks fussy and like it should have taken ages but was really quick to make.

Pre-cut bauble shape from a pack of children's Christmas shapes, a bit of embossing and stamping into whilst hot, Crafty individuals image and an old chandelier drop.

Spooky

One Powerful hour's theme this week is spooky for Halloween. This was the most awful thing in the world to photograph LOL. Its a clear globe that is in 2 halves and then clips together to make a sealed globe. The back half is coloured with alcohol inks, glimmer mist, mica scraps and beads.

Over the whole thing on the outside is stamped a cobweb effect in black stazon and then trapped in the middle is a poor little fairy with only a bird and pumpkin for company for all eternity.

A few bits of ribbon and beads to trim it up on the outside.
