This is Miss Penny…a rustic altered tin. Hubby helped with the aging process (small bonfire in our fire pit) which adds a wonderful patina to the tin. I then added wire with beads and mother of pearl buttons as embellishments. The tin has been collaged on both sides using Paper Whimsy Collage Sheet 002, bits of antique lace, an old skeleton key,and various ephemera. I love the abalone shell button on the front.
I love this very vintage altered tin. Love the little button and lace trim. Beautiful!
This is absolutely beautiful!!
I'm running out of superlatives to use for your work! LOL! What a fabulous little tin. I want to be you when I grow up! LOL! :)
This is so sweet! I like how the bow on the tin mimics the bow in Miss Penny's hair.
Very pretty altered tin! I love that your husband helped you with it. I didn't know putting it in a fire helped.
I love seeing what you are making : )

Miss Penny is a sweetie! Faultless artwork as always. I love your use of the lace and yes, that button is stunning. First you inspire me with gothic arches and now I feel an aged tin happening at some time :) TFS. Lynne M x
Exquisitely crafted, dear Nancy!
So beautiful!
Miss Penny is fantastic Nancy! Have a wonderful weekend. Hugs Alexandra
Absolutely beautiful Nancy!
Gorgeous creation Nancy with two of my favorite PW girls … but really ALL of Gale's images are so very special.
As soon as we are not roasting (it felt like 105 today here in VA = oh my … hotter tomorrow WHAT!) I have a big collection of tins to grill.
You inspire in again and again.
Wishing you and yours a lovely weekend

Oh Nancy,Penny is just beautiful..I love the key and added embellishments..just perfect!!I also love that fire pit idea..I'm trying everything to rust and age my treasures.
Big Hugs,Cat
What a gorgeous piece. Isn´t this nice when the man of the house gets involved in our projects:) Your man is roasting things and my man is collecting images, brochures and assorted nifty things on his travels. He opens his briefcase and says,,,mmm, maybe you could use this on a collage:) toooo cute aren´t they….
This tin is such a great idea. This piece looks like some great find you might see at a garage sale in the deep south or something. When I look at it a story starts to form in my mind. It's really wonderful!!
Adorable–how unique!
Love this tin…what a great idea with the bonfire, Nancy. Love working with the tins as well and each time I rust one it takes more time than I care to take (too anxious, I guess). I did find a solution at Michael's to speed up the process tho, which helps. your elements from Paper Whimsey are beautiful. I have a binder full of their beautiful images…they are so gorgeous. Hugs, Gayle.
