Time Warp Altered Sakura Milk Can

My second milk can project is a companion piece to my first ("Time Flies") and a tribute to one of my favorite movies, The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  Even if you’ve never watched this cult classic, you’ve probably heard parts of the soundtrack, including “Time Warp.”

Here’s the milk can without embellishment:

I love how Crystal Lacquer sticks to metal!  I prepared my paper to cover my can.  This is a vintage clock face on cardstock, stamped with my phrase in ColorBox Chalk Ink in Dark Brown and painted with 7 Gypsies Color Wash in Walnut Forest.

I coated the cylindrical portion of the can with Crystal Lacquer using a foam paint brush, put the paper in place, and coated the paper with more Crystal Lacquer.  When the Crystal Lacquer was dry to the touch, I added another layer on top of the first.
I had these lovely doll parts that remind me of the friend who first took me to see Rocky Horror:

I sewed the arms to the handles on the sides with button thread.  I punched holes in the can, matching the holes in the doll bust, then tied the doll head to the can with embroidery floss.  I used Crystal Lacquer to glue the bottom of the can to the top of a vintage tin turned upside down:

Finally, I made my Time Warp Doll a watch face necklace:
