Excellent cause Sue and what a great idea. Will make some of these for our group exhibition next year. A good way to use up some old CDs but will have to find a vegan alternative to the tuna tin 🙂

Thanks Ruth – gosh never thought of the tin!!!! What on earth can you get that is Vegan and the same size as a Universal Tuna tin? 🙂

Maybe a little tin of vegan spread from the Health food store – will check it out and let you know Sue. 🙂
