More Tin Cans and a Little Experiment

I visited one estate sale and the VofA this morning but no great scores to write about. Mostly old books and hymnals and not too interesting to the camera's eye. I did pick up another one of those things I don't collect so will have to do a "things I don't collect" post this week. I haven't done one of those in a while. That's probably a GOOD thing! I finished up a couple more tins for the Etsy shop this week. Love making these!

This is a little experiment, an idea I have been toying with. I have a lot of those wooden letter holders from Scrabble games and a pretty good stash of brass stencils. I guess they are another one of those things I don't collect since I buy them for no good reason. Anyway, I messed around with it a little to see if I could make it work and this is what I came up with so far. I used the stencils "as found" and sandwiched them between the wood trays. Somehow it isn't doing it for me yet so I have to let it steep a while. No clue why I wasted two vowels on an experiment. Could I not have used Q, X and Z?? Now ART and HEART are both gone. Sheesh.
