Description:

Recycle time. Altered art time. Grab an empty can from the recycle bin. Any can will do. Soup can, vegetable can, coffee can, tin, aluminimumum...........anything except the small tuna fish or cat food cans. Go bigger. Go as big as you'd like. Wash that can really good and start decorating it.

Any theme, ANY medium. NOT profile specific so you can start right away.

I use recycled cans for my pens, pencils, art brushes and stuff. It looks nice on a shelf all purdy.

Here's the skippy:

  • 1 can
  • 1 partner
  • decorated with any medium
  • not profile specific
  • pretty light weight so this will be a global swap.

Do not slap a sticker on it and call it done. Spend some time on it and make it a glorious piece of art~

Any unexplained or funky recent 1's-3's please don't sign up.

I know you were looking for other ideas to alter.....how about cookie tins, tea tins, altoid boxes, pringles tubes, cardboard boxes(small and larger), cosmetic jars, plastic flower pots (light for mailing). Just some thoughts.

I was just out for a walk & it popped into my head what I am going to do for this swap. Thank you for hosting RyeRye.

Oh @poggy I have been the very LUCKY recipient of one of your altered cans before! Your partner is a lucky duck~

do our cans need to retain their can shape, or can they be deconstructed?
