MINI MARYS

My latest recycling efforts are these little tins, decorated with images from past work or hand painted originals. They are a huge and unexpected success!

Recycling and repurposing have been passions of mine for 50 years. I had a great run with upcycled feed bags turned into useful totes, and when I saw these miniature tins I couldn’t resist them. “Drawing” from years of my “extra” notecards, valentines and calendars. I select, paste and seal the art to make durable, adorable gifts, favors, mini-storage, whatever. (The first time I displayed these tins, at the Hereford (PA) Farm Market, a woman bought 35 of them for her 35 employees!) Think “Customizable”!

Order your tins from our SHOP, or visit Chessacanna in Cockeysville, MD, and American Shaman in York, PA. I’ve also been doing pop-up events around Baltimore. See EVENTS for the dates.

Maybe you have tins you’d like recycled? Maybe you have an inspired use for a special tin? Or a unique stocking stuffer? Contact me anytime, I’d love to hear your ideas.
