A Must Have!!

I spent years checking this book out of the library when I spent summers w/ my mom. I have no idea why I waited so long to buy myself a copy? I have my tin snips purchased & I get closer to starting this craft! This is a must have if even you only think you might want to try this someday!

A "Found" Treasure

I bought this book three years ago and have probably read it 15 times. I took a 2 1/2 week course with Bobby at Penland School of Crafts right after buying the book. I had been collecting tin cans for 20 years and finally had a use for them all. I am slighltly addicted to buying craft books, but if I was stranded on an island this would be top on my list to have with me. I can't stress enough the thought and care that went into making this book. Bobby's sense of humor comes through and the photographs through out are splendid and plentiful. Buy this book and you will never look at the squashed beer or soda can on the road the same way again.
