lovely work. How did you prepare your tins?

Thanks for your great comments.

Preparing the tins...it depends on how I decide to cover them...If I use fabric, then I just glue it dirrectly to the tin. If I paint with acrylic, then I need to sand it a bit first. Or I use gesso right on the tin. Then continue on painting and glueing stuff down. I have also used alcohol inks on the inside of the tins. Give it a try !
