guaranteed rustless by

a friend of mine has an unending supply of mint tins which I occasionally throw in the fire for patina effects…. inspired by a new book by Jane Wynn I’ve begun a series of Industrial Jewelery pieces using the mint tins as shrines……….very exciting new venture for me since they are simple and I can make one in a day and have lots of fun!
the title ‘guaranteed rustless’ comes from a label attached to the raised lid (which cannot be seen behind the line of twigs) and cut from my mum’s old sewing box stash…era 60s….
