Wolf Matchstick work tobacco tin.

Newly finished  this week and worth showing is this Grey Wolf tin. The transfer used on its lid started life as an old calendar for 2016.The pictures were so good that it felt a pity just to throw them away. They were saved and some were used in making home made transfers one of which found its way onto this tin.



The Grey Wolf on the tins lid is very striking.

 

The tin was made using the traditional matchstick method. The matchsticks on the top of the tin were laid in one direction as the transfer would cover any fancy match work. The base of the tin was given a chequerboard  pattern which reflects light beautifully.

 

Chequerboard matchstick work graces the tins base. 

 

All surfaces of the tin are smooth with no rough edges with a high varnish finish. It's not perfect but then no hand crafted tins ever are.
