Recycled Sprite soda can buckel

I had a lot of fun today playing with some old soda cans. Instead of the usual leather I add to my buckles for colour, I thought it would be fun to recycle some cans and see what I could come up with. I found I still needed to use the nickel for strength, but that the tin has a lovely vibrancy and rich color.

I rather like this oak tree which has a portion of a Sprite can behind the nickel. I love how it blends from blue to green, and the bubbles on the can look like light passing through the leaves.

Can't wait to try some more, and think I will try using cork next.
