A Jedi uses the Force for knowledge and defense, never for attack.

I am so excited, I finished up my Star Wars movie canisters.   Even though this is just Folk Art, I think they look pretty awesome in my office.  Not bad for a 5 dollar investment in the canisters and then some spit and polish with a little decoupage on my part.   I have had several people stop into my office and ask me if these are real.   I let on, that it is just art, but damn they look good.  I know have the first three episodes, which is what most people of my age will remember.   With the poster book that I have I am sure I can come up with some other idea's to use them.  May the force be with you!

Just for fun

I picked up some old film canisters a few weeks back at the auction.  I have been slowly working on one and I finished it up this evening.   I guess I am going to go with a Star Wars theme for this project.  I picked up a Star Wars poster book at a garage sell, thinking I would use it for decoupage and now I have.

I blasted the original canister in the sand blaster and then cleaned it off with some 220 sanding paper. Wiped it down and cleaned it up, hit it with a coat of primer and painted it with chrome paint.  I think this little project cam out pretty decent.   Since I have the poster book and two more canisters I should be able to do the first three Star War movies.  I am planning to hang these in my office and think they will be some good conversation pieces.
