This tin worked best as the "body," because it didn't take away from the globe (face). Some of the other tins I tried were WAY too "loud" with their patterns and colors.

I was saving the globe bank for just the right art piece (as I only had one in stock). Wish I could find more, at resonable prices (hint hint to anyone that can help). Some of the globe banks I've seen run in the neighborhood of $25!!!

LOVED this aluminum mold when I first saw it, at a rummage sale this past summer. Wish I could have found more. Hated to cover up the design on top, but it worked so well for Ms. Globetrotter's skirt, I had no choice.

Another close up. I tried to get the globe to show North America, Canada and surrounding areas, but it just woudln't work. I think Ms. G just wants to see more of the world, in her globe-trotting lifestyle!!!

Alice, I am looking for globe banks under $10. I was lucky enough to find the one I had, for less than $5.00 this summer! I'll just have to keep looking.... thanks for your suggestion about Esty. I will have to take a look.
Candy, how on earth did you guess this piece was over a foot tall??? Most of my pieces are about that tall ("Hit The Spot" was closer to two feet). I try to keep them at least a foot tall, as the gallery likes to put them in their front windows a lot!!!
Thanks again everyone!!! gailmarie Posted: 12:41 am on October 7th

Mrs. G is a worldly young lady. Love her and your writing. I can always count on you to put a smile on my face. Thanks!
Take care,

She is darling! Look at Esty at the vintage space. There is one where I work for 20.00 if that is a good price I could buy and mail. I will keep my eye out!
