The Fine Art of the Tin Can: Techniques and Inspirations
Hansson is the ultimate recycler. The tin can craft items contributed by the author and nearly 100 other artists and collectors make this book a gallery of tin can folk art. Printed cans provide most of the raw material, but some items are made of ordinary cans with the labels removed. The finished products include jewelry, fantastic lamps, musical instruments, and weird and wonderful decorative items. Instructions for cutting, hammering, soldering, and riveting are given along with descriptions of tools. There are no step-by-step projects, but the photographs provide plenty of inspiration.Copyright 1996 Reed Business Information, Inc.
