Today I would like to share this altered altoid tin with you. I started it this morning, but in order to finish it I will need a metal punch. Off to the Hardware store I go.Wish me luck.
Thank you so much for stopping by and for all your lovely comments. At the moment I'm running behind with visiting your lovely blogs and hope to catch up tonight.
Have a great day and a wonderful weekend my dear friends.
Brilliant idea - again Marie! - love how it turned out! Wouldn't it be fun to keep a small rolled-up love letter inside? Now all you need is a secret Valentine who will write you such a letter, LOL! Hugs, Ira

Ooooh Marie that is so beautiful!
Hi Marie! You are just so clever and this tin is gorgeous! Love how you framed the image! Have a wonderful day!
What a unique way to use the small altoids tin. I've altered the larger ones, but you really inspire me to use the small ones, too!
This is really pretty. I had no idea that Altoids came in a small bottle. I'll have to look for them.
Hugs,
Susan
gorgeous piece! love how you framed the image!
Marie, your altered tin is beautiful. I wish I knew how you tarnished it, that is my favorite look, all tarnished.

I have no idea what an altoid tin is, but I adore what you have done with it! What do you need the metal punch for though?
This is just beautiful!!
Ach, Marie, Du hast die Begabung aus einem alten Pfefferminzdöschen ein wahres Schmuckstück zu zaubern! Ich bin mal wieder sprachlos!
I love it, love it, love it! Love the image and the metal frame over it. What DO you need the punch for?
Blessings,
Sonya
This is so, so wonderful! Your eye for shape, color, image, texture ... Michelangelo had nothing on you!
Hope you find your metal punch. It looks finished to me...it is charming and very werable and I love it. The colour of the metal is amazing.

Nobody can transform an ordinary, usually thrown away, item like you can! I'm going to start sucking on altoids and send you the tins!
Hugs ~~ Connie
I'm with Connie, Marie. No one can transform an altoids tin like you. Gorgeous!
Hi Marie! I'm just catching up on my visiting... The work you've been doing lately is gorgeous! Not that all of your work hasn't been... but like I said I'm just catching up!
It is gorgeous Marie, and an added bonus is that it can hold a small treasure....I love it!

Marie, your work is for inspiration. You shared a unique way to use the small altoids tin. It is best example for making best from waste.
You are just so clever and this tin is gorgeous. One thing I noticed that you framed the image very unique way, You have very good knowledge of art.
This is lovely!
