Very impressive, Peace. I love all the little details — you’ve managed to make art that presents something new each time you look at it without being too ‘busy’. Thanks for sharing with us.
I honestly have to say, I will never look at any tins in the same way again. This is amazing. I will have to try something like this.
Really like this wallhanger. Great use of the collage sheet. You keep looking and see new things all the time. Its funny and interesting.
Wow! what beautiful colors. You did a great job on the placement of everything.
Isn’t it great to find treasures like the box and immediately know what you are going to do with it. I like to idea of being able to hang it on the wall. I would love to see what you did on the outside of the lid.
Thanks for sharing, Linda
How clever is this? I love the depth that has been achieved and this piece makes me feel happy. I wish it was on my wall so I am inspired to try my hand at this kind of work. I am looking forward to seeing more of Peace’s work.

Wow, what depth and dimension! Love the poison sign. The dice add a great touch to the “story”
Fabulous! I’ve used Altoid tins lots of times before, but I love the larger sized tin you used. You can be sure I will be checking out my local dollar store for the pencil tin! Thanks for sharing -

Peace!! Your creativity knows no bounds! You make me want to try things, thank you!! Sue
Peace, I love the way you altered this little tin. All the lime green accents and the “poison” label really make your pencil tin and the Absinthe collage pics sing!!
what a beautiful shrine! I love the rusty washers paired with the shiny beads and rhinestones. I would never have thought of that, but it looks fab!
Great work, Peace. I love the fact that you can hand it on a wall, and I love the way each time you look at it you can see something new. Great layers of elements, too!
Just delicious! Absinthe is an olde New Orleans favorite and well known here in Louisiana!
Oh, and I was just in the $Store yesterday, but did not see any neat pencil boxes. Will have to keep my eyes more open in the future. Love the work.
Peace, your collaged tin is fantastic! I have always loved tins, and this is such an inspiration. Thanks for sharing!

This is amazing! The colors and textures make this no ordinary pencil tin. I like the little red saying at the bottom. WARNING– MAY BE HABIT FORMING…
That is so true when it comes to creating these great art pieces.
Thanks for sharing!

Hi Peace! I love your work sooo much! The altered tin is awesome- beautiful colors, you must have Autumn on your mind. Or Absinthe- or both
I’m overwhelmed with ideas and inspiration and look forward to giving this and other project ideas a whirl. You have motivated me to get cracking in the studio and to try something new.
The tin is fabulous, I love the vintage images and the depth you achieved. I really iked the concept of making your tin a hanging piece and am inspired to try this with my students at school. Thanks for the great inspiration!!
Monica
I just love the way you collaged the tin. There is just so much to see. I would have never
thought of using the lace but it sure makes a difference. Thank you for sharing.
Jo Ann
Simply a gorgeous tin. Eye candy. So many elements in this collage. Thank you for a chance to participate.
I lovethe dice on top- the colors togetehr remind me of the color of absinthe. ANd I like how your eye moves around the piece and sees new things .
Truly inspiring! I love the use of so many textural things and that you used a pencil tin–more space to play with. It makes me want to go create one of my own! Thanks for sharing.
Wow! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a super decorated artsy tin. I love it. This is one piece that calls for at least 30 minutes of scrutiny. – Alice
Very nice! I really like the layering and the use of the images. I’d love to have it hanging on my wall! Lettie
Absolutely amazing. So much detail. You can look at it over and over again and see new things everytime. Wonderful work.
This is kewl. i can never think to make some thing like this. lol
I have never figured out how to use tins effectively – this piece is a real inspiration!
Wow! That is gorgeous! So much going on in that little tin, and yet it doesn’t look cluttered … which is what it would be if I tried to do something like this LOL! Very nice.
Ooooh, I love what you’ve created from a simple pencil case; lots of color and texture. Very nice indeed!
Peace-
I would love to see this piece in person. I keep seeing another litle hidden element every time I look at it! Love the two little dice on the top. Great work and I love that you created something so cool from something so simple and ordinary.
Wow — this piece of art is really inspiring! It makes me want to sit down immediately and start to play. GREAT job!
Happy creating,
Birgit
This tin is absolutely amazing! I love the images and colors.
I love altered tins and this one is so cool!
My granddaughter and I were so excited with this we are doing one together she is 7 and I am starting her early with true art. The colors were great!
