OK, so that's pretty crazy!
Actually, my project uses an angel and a tuna can!
This angelic diorama came to be due to my choosing of a pescatarian diet (vegetarian allowing fish). I have been wanting to make dioramas but simply did not get around to it (that's a bad pun in the whole tuna can thing!)
I used a fancy cut angel from collage # 669 and created a stand so it would be 3 dimensional inside the 'heavenly sphere'.

Chicken of the Sea came to my rescue.
I cleaned the can and removed the label. I painted the interior and around the rim with chalk paint tinted with interference paint. While the paint was still wet I coated it with iridescent glitter.I used a fancy cut angel from collage # 669 and created a stand so it would be 3 dimensional inside the 'heavenly sphere'.
I cut a small piece of ruffled lace and folded it over to create a cushion for the base of the angel's stand. I used E6000 to apply the lace securely. I then covered the exterior of the can with flat lace and an overlay of ruffled lace sprayed and sprinkled with glitter.
I was thinking of tea staining a crown of larger cotton lace but I had a Delicata Metallic Gold inkpad beside me and thought what the heck...why not?
I rubbed the ink onto the lace it looked great!
I wanted it to make a more dimensional statement, so let one layer of lace stand up off the circle and created a 'crown' of the gold inked lace as a focal point adding a pretty little flower. The final gilding was a row of cup chain to shine and sparkle.
This was such a delight to make and I will make more for seasons and gift giving all year.
