Wanderings, recycled art and food

[metawidget]

Went to the craft fair in Wakefield with Elizabeth today... it was really crowded and chaotic in there, but we did find some promising-looking jams and jelly, and looking around was kind of neat. I ran into one of our client-division people from work, selling her wares, too

That's a cool idea! Do you treat the edges in any way to make them less sharp??

They look scarier than they actually are -- we use soda or beer cans, cut them with general-purpose kitchen shears, and the resulting sheet of aluminum is pokey but not slashy. I imagine you could cut a bit big and fold the edges over if you wanted the finished product to be extra-safe, or even stitch the finished pieces onto scrap felt backings (that'd be very pretty, I think).

Very nice work!
