I have just entrusted the Tuna Tin to Australia Post and, fingers crossed, it will be in France before too long. Our postal systems seem to be very nervous things these days and I am really hoping this little thing can find its way around the world without being lost.
What will happen to it? It will be posted from bubbler to bubbler around the world and at each stop it will be added to, looked at, played with and photographed. The photographs will be uploaded here at RB for all to see. Here are the artists we are hoping the Tuna Tin will visit.

I have included with the Tin a little letter for each artist, maybe with a suggestion, maybe just a hello. All of these wonderful people have amazing creative and playful minds and I am very much looking forward to seeing what they add to the little collection and how they photograph it.
Send your thoughts out to the Tuna Tin and let us see if positive thinking can beat the vagaries of Snail Mail!

Bon Voyage, little friend Tuna Tin!
Soxy Fleming:
thank you for your good wishes mmargot. I think they will be needed!
mmargot
Naw….“positive thinking” and the kindness of strangers will keep it well!
Anne van Alkemade

I got an email the other day.. saying it was from UK customs and they had a parcel for me from parcel. When I opened the email it was a trojan.
Take care everyone ! Somebody doesn’t like our global Tuna Tin project.
MERCA
that should read “parcel from France”
Pascale Baud
… tea bag ! I’ve forgotten it… :(
but the packag is made but not in the post… ! – to hot this afternoon… 31°-
Pascale Baud
A french trojan, Andy ?
I wanted to trap the parcel with Roquefort !
I think that it is the fatal weapon for the customs officers…
But I was not able to resist and by the smell attracted…
Soxy Fleming:
I want a picture of the Roquefort. Sorry I’m having bad internet…I’m behind in all the news!
Pascale Baud
I had no time to photograph it…
it is going to need that I take again.
Of the green blue of molds of the Roquefort in the blue (ultramarine) of molds of Bresse Bleu, the palette is rich ! ;-)
Soxy Fleming:
you bring back fond memories of staying in Paris to me with this talk of blue cheese!
Pascale Baud
good memories of Blue ? ;-)
- I remember when I was student to have made enjoy a lot of cheeses to an American friend ! :)
Bev Woodman

i have a package sitting on my kitchen counter. its contents are more traveled than i am. will be opening it on monday…
Soxy Fleming:
maybe it can tell you some travel stories!
scott allison
i am sure it can… it should be fun to give it more to tell before it visits our friend alvero…
MERCA
It took me about a week to open it.. and then another month or so to decide what to do with it !
Soxy Fleming:
yes it’s daunting and serious stuff…opening an empty tuna tin from Australia…
janpiller
This is sooooo cool!!
Soxy Fleming:
thanks for that Jan…it’s still in process…I hope!
Jakki O
What an incredible idea, love it!
Soxy Fleming:
thanks jakkio…I must see what has become of it!
LeighAth
this sounds incredibly fun :)…you should keep sending it round and round between the 6 of you and see if it ever gets stopped. Lol.
Soxy Fleming:
well its a bit stopped at the moment….I know it got to Arizona…but seems to has stalled there…I’m not one to hurry participants along
LeighAth
Do you think it gets stopped because of the sharpness of the can? Could it be a safety issue perhaps?
Soxy Fleming:
no no….we have had no trouble with the postal system. as far as I know it is with one of the artists at the moment
LeighAth
Oh I get it :)…well i’m sure it’ll move eventually :)
Good luck :)
