For pbworks - Tuna Tin Friend
Let me tell you about pbworks
Pb does the most amazing things, have a look and see. And I was particularly taken with pb’s tuna tin which is also here.
So I ate some tuna and spent today making up the contents for the package so I could be a friend-in-tuna-tins-across-the-world with pb. Here it is before I packed it all in.
Well I guess now you probably think I’m a complete nutcase….and certainly if someone had told me that one day I would pack an empty tuna tin with little paper thingys and string as a form of communication with someone in France I would have thought they were a nutcase too.
Isn’t it amazing where meaning in our lives comes from?
More pictures of the delights of papery, stringy thingys and tuna tins.

Ooh La La – c’est magnifique.
What a wonderful hommage to pbworks.
I bet he/she will love it.
What a sweet Soxy you are.
Soxy Fleming replied
and how about you too Ariane? pack a little tin with Ariane type things?
Anne van Alkemade
They are wonderful Soxy. They should be in the snail mail group, one and all.
Soxy Fleming replied
thanks Anne, I’m always nervous about putting things in groups, I need to be nudged
Zolton
Fun! Nudge nudge. You always find new creative things to share. I still need to try the scissors out!
Soxy Fleming replied
I’m getting to be a bit of a tangle of projects!
mmargot
This is just the funnest thing ever!
[not “funny” – most fun…]
How do you two work with such little things?!
happy clapping.
Soxy Fleming replied
mmargot I don’t know!. making the little packages (have a look at them they have come up beautifully) was almost a religious experience!
mmargot
Yes.
It takes a lot of friendship and time and time to make a nice friend!
Maybe you could make the pictures of the process very tiny and send
them in another tin?
Soxy Fleming replied
what a lovely idea!

this is really sweet Soxy…. one question though! Why tuna, would not an escargot tin be more appropriate =D I love it!
Soxy Fleming replied
hhmm. tins don’t feature greatly in my pantry. I did consider sardines. In fact you could put bigger things and longer ones in a sardine tin (but I don’t think I had one). I’ll do an escargot tin if you eat the contents!

mmmmmmm snails yummy!

A friend of mine once stuck a bunch of stamps on an unwraped house brick and successfully sent it to his mate in South Africa. He was rewarded with an unwrapped work boot!
Soxy Fleming replied
sounds like true art to me!!
Andy Mercer
