Woman in a Can

A companion for the Tin Can Man

1. Coffee can, cookie can, tuna can, wire, hot glue
2. I had all of these keys and so I thought I'd make a skirt for 
    Tin Can Woman  (TCW)
3.  Key skirt
4.  Premature Tin Can Woman.

 Back to the drawing board

I used spoons, wire, keys, old jewelry, nuts, bolts, electrical tape, mini Altoid tin, craft chain, discarded man's ring and silver paint.

To give it a uniform look I sprayed it with silver paint.  It also covers up some of the glue. Very pleased with the outcome.

That's it***

Tin Can Man

The Wizard of Oz was always one of my favorite movies as a child. Later in life I learned about all of the rumors, legends and scandal behind the filming of the movie. Some true, false or simply embellished.

For some time I've wanted to make a tin can man. I washed and saved several cans of various sizes. When I had enough I began to construct in my mind how I wanted him to look.

Of course I searched Pinterest and other sites just to get workable information.

I wanted to use bolts to hinge parts together but it was too difficult even trying to use my drill. I probably don't have the correct drill bit.  I used E-6000, HVAC tape and hot glue in areas that were tricky to keep in place. I'm well aware that the glue will melt in hot weather as I expect it to. Hot glue was a temporary measure to keep things in place until the E-6000 had time to cure.

The buttons consist of 2 washers and one bottle cap, The metal heart is a metal icon I had in my
stash. I may paint it red at a later date.

I'm very pleased with the Tin Man's outcome. He's hanging on the wall of my back fence. I look forward to him rusting and gaining more character. 

I may even  put together a companion for him. 😉
