Media Reviews
Tin and metal-craft are becoming an ever-increasing popular hobby. With their shine and reflective qualities, they fit well into today's modern homes in a myriad of forms: mirrors, frames, candlesticks and more, especially in the garden which has turned into an extra room for entertaining. This attractive book offers a range of easy-to-make, inspirational ideas using the mediums of copper, pewter, metal foil and brass. From pretty, personalised greeting cards to kitsch musical scarecrows and reindeer, folksy Mexican chandeliers and mirrors to elegant candle collars for the dining table. Ideas for inside and out made from petit four tins, tin cans, foil pie dishes - you would be surprised at just what can be created from such ordinary, everyday items. Lavishly illustrated and clearly explained, the projects range from the simple to the more complicated but all are easily achieved by anyone with a modicum of handiness and some glue. Delight your friends with individual presents or adorn your home with these homemade gems, people will never guess you made them yourself they are so pretty and elegant. This is one of the best books on the subject around at the moment and should not be missed by anyone with an interest in tinware. - Lucy Watson
