Ha! Canning season, I wouldn't know. I don't can. I don't garden....except for roses. But I have been collecting cans for other purposes. See below....Liquitex has a new spray paint. I read about it today and just had to go get some and try it out (because I'm impulsive, and I was lonely at home without kids). A fine array of colors. A very nice matte finish. Low odor. Nice nozzle and round spray radius. Clever packaging with color indicator dome. Super easy clean-up because it's WATER BASED. They claim you can paint acrylic right over it. I will try that tomorrow. Might have to go back for more colors. Michael's has a special: buy two get one free. They are pricey so it's a nice deal. Consider me the lab monkey. I approve.

On the subject of cans.....these new Warhol commemoratives, found (by accident) at Target! Had to get one of each. Tore off the label (actually, surgically removed with great care) and will put in my journal. I think my pages may curl up from fright, having never hosted so much color. I will be sporting my soup shoes later this month at the Met for a new show: Regarding Warhol: Sixty Artists, Fifty Years.
Note: the shoes are by Icon and are no longer in their collection. Maybe you'll get lucky and find a pair on ebay like I did. Bag and figures were gifts, no resource available.
