What a wonderful surprise today! This gorgeous tin arrived from Carmen (salome000). I could hardly believe she parted with this when I see the work involved! The detail is amazing. The tiny pearls must be 1mm! Carmen, there are no adequate words to thank you for this incredible gift! The tin is 3 3/4" tall. Handling those small pieces had to be an incredible exercise in patience!

A true treasure, Nancy. Love the shadowbox effect by using an Altoids tin....and we know how small that is!! The detail and the vintage/romantic feeling Carmen achieved is outstanding. She knew that you would truly appreciate it.

WOW! What an amazing piece of artwork... it has so many cool details! Love the little seahorse and all those amazing shells and pearls. I LOVE the sand dollar perched on the corner and the tulle around the edge at the top is just brilliant! I am happy for you my friend to receive such wonderfulness in the mail.

Lucky you getting this $95 beauty (I remember her husband said something about she would have to sell these for $95 to make up her time and costs - LOL). Happy Birthday sweet girl. HUgz!
