One of my favorite aspects of altered art
is that we're taking a discarded or otherwise
useless object and transforming it into something
of beauty.  I love to alter tins because of the
element of surprise that can be incorporated. 
Sometimes the insides are very different
than the outsides...

Love Letters Tin

This heart tin was altered using the theme of love letters.  Paint, rubber stamping and collage were used to decorate the outside.  Stamps: Cats Life Press (eye), Stamp Craft (heart)

The inside is metallic gold with the text: 

If I speak with human eloquence and angelic ecstasy but don't love, I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.
