TOBACCO CANISTER
This canister speaks for itself. There is this much to be said for it: the lady of the house isn’t so apt to hide it when she is preparing for guests.
As with any Kachina project, there is practically no limit to what can be done in regard to design. You can take your pick of masks, and can select the appendages that you like best.
Coffee cans have just about the proper shape and proportions for these canisters, and the covers fit tightly. Be sure to smooth down the edges of the can, using fine emery or other abrasive cloth.
The inside of the can should be given a coat of clear lacquer to prevent rust from forming, since many brands of tobacco are slightly damp.
