I came across this idea used re-cycled drinks cans, which I thought I'd
give a go:

And then give a coat of varnish to waterproof?

Lovely idea for rainy days :-)

If you are using wire on trees then wind some of it around a cane or
biro to give you what looks like a spring , with this in the loop
around the tree then as the tree grows the wire loop can evpand with
the trunk and not get grown over.

I have some wonderful pictures I took of a tree which had a wire hawser put
round it to support a fence. Completely grown over :-( Which site can I post
them on?

I use Twango, it works for me. If you don't want to start your own album
send the pics to me and I will put them up on mine for a while for folk to
take a look.

www.myalbum.com is easy to use and maintains the detail that was in the

I don't think waterproofing is necessary - you use the pen to 'emboss'
the metal, rather than to write on it with ink. Not sure what to make of
the label on the reverse side though - it seems it's just to use as a
template to cut around, but I suppose it will eventually weather off,
exposing the paint of the can....
