Show & Tell - Altered soup can

Altered Soup Can

I made this altered soup can and it didn’t turn out very well. I think I’ll name this my spastic-mess altered soup can! It started out really cute and when I put modge podge over it everything got all messy and junked up. The base paper got all gooey and my fingers stuck to parts of it, and then there were torn paper patches from where my fingers were stuck. I was about to toss it and instead went and whined about it to my honey. I hand cut all the flowers and was feeling really bummed that I ruined it. Later this afternoon I decided to try and fix it. I made some of my sea-urchin funky flowers to hide the torn paper patches and also glued on some more stuff.

I can’t decide if it’s just ugly, strangely inspiring, or just waiting to be tossed. I’ll think I will let it hangout for a bit, see if it grows on me…or maybe grows something. I’d love to hear your thoughts. I made a poll so you can share your opinion. The poll doesn’t work in the blog readers, please click here if you want to add your vote.
