Tin Can Art

My mum checked out a book at the library the other day and there is some very cool art in it. It is called the fine art of the tin can and shows a bunch of art made from metal cans and containers

Remember in preschool when you would use 2 cans connected by a string to "communicate"? Ah, those were the days. What if communication was as simple as screaming across the room or the street? but i suppose you couldn't phone grandma who lives in new york. But, back to the tin can subject, the 2 can string phone would not be too convenient for home-to-home contact. you could string the cans through neighboring windows, but the whole connection of people would hear your conversation. I don't even know if it would work with more than 2 cans! Ah, nevermind. 

Wouldn't it be lovely to have a pet octopus? One of those beautiful creatures suspended in a tank in your room? I would love that!  Yet, octopi don't live terribly long, only 6 months for the small ones, so it would be a short-lived event. But they are still one of my favorite animals and the most amazing sea creatures! 
enough for now,
