Running: The Round Robin Christmas Altered Sardine Tin

The Round Robin Christmas Altered Sardine Tin

sign up by 11th Oct 2012.

In the spirit of collaborative art and Christmas who fancies joining in this funky festive swap?

My inspiration for this project came from this example I found on Flickr by SEVERNHAM (not very festive but still very cool)

There will be 3 to a group, you can be in as many groups as you like (depends how much you like tinned sardines/mackerel I guess :) ).

Each player will provide their own sardine tin.  It will need a good clean, I used an old toothbrush to get into the difficult bits and then left on a radiator for a few days and its now good to go.

A bit like pass the painting, each person will add some funky festive layers. The finished item can be made as a hanging ornament or as a stand alone, the hanger or feet can be added at any stage of the round robin.

There are only 12 Saturdays til Christmas, so there will be a quick turnaround.

Posting Dates 19th Oct, 9th Nov and 30th Nov and to be posted RECORDED for safe delivery.
