This is the third time I've uploaded this. Twice yesterday and each time I took it back down (no comments or recorded views) because the black background I'd painted on in PS Elements was missing some spots. The second time it looked perfect on my computer, but when I looked at it on the iPod it was evident that I had somehow chosen a slightly different shade of black for the repair, so I deleted it again. I'm back at the computer and this time I was just able to see the spots that weren't the same by looking at it at an angle from the side. (Yesterday I had already tried tilting up and down.) Sheesh! I hope this measures up. Ended up spending too much time on it. I was posting older photos (took this one a while back but gave it the black background yesterday) because I've been busy. So much for saving time.

Just opened it in the iPod. Not 100% but close enough. I have to let go of the desire for perfection. It doesn't exist.
Fabulous editing. Great shot of history!

@homeschoolmom @suebarni Thanks, Lisa and Sue. I've had the small tin for a long time. I worked at a drugstore in the mid seventies and bought two of them with product still in them. They were antiques (in the loose sense of the word) even back then so, I hasten to assure you, I didn't even consider using anything but the tin package! TIhe little tool charms I got at some rummage sale or yard sale. Did either of you catch my visual pun? If by chance you're not familiar with the Sheik brand name you might not have.

It was totally lost on me, we don't have the brand here. However I am curious and I have worked in two drug stores, (we call them chemists). I had an idea of what it could be that you bought for the tin and didn't use the contents because they were too old. I Googled sheik economy package and got offered flights to Egypt lol - I'd LOVE to go to Egypt - then I added condoms to the search and confirmed my suspicions. Great tin to keep your tools in.
