Many years ago, a really small shop near by, had some cans (for cookies) that looked as something without a future.
The lovely lady kept those treasures in her shop, without knowing really what to do with them.
My radar detected them and I offer her to buy them. She thought about what to do for five minutes, asked her son, and they decided to sell them to me for something like $1.
They weren't in good shape and were really dirty. So I washed them, painted them, pasted some images, and treated them to look old.
Here they are!
At this point of the story I should confess my love for Alphonse Mucha. My favorite artist. His images honor my can.

The green one is more renaissance, with images of Miguel Angel.
Now the keep candles and small pieces of fabric.
Everyday art...
