Here we have the new couple that adds up to the Trash Family! (to see the rest, just click on the label, from the list on the right) They are Minimum and Maximum, Min. and Max. Cat and Dog. Black and white. Salt shaker and pepper grinder. And above all that, very good friends.

MIN.

Min. is 13.5cm high, the Cat Salt Shaker. I painted it with water-based enamel paint and then scratched it to create the 'stressed' look that I cherish so much and is kind of becoming the 'trade mark' of the Trash Family... all the rest is made out of metallic bits and bobs -screws, tiny black nails, washers, a hook, two picture holders, and even a very small vintage little bell...

MAX.

Max. is 14cm high, the Dog Pepper Grinder. Like with his 'brother' Min, I also painted it with water-based enamel paint that I scratched afterwards. And all the addings are also metallic; including nails, washers, modelling screws, a section of pipe-holding-band for the collar, two hair clips for the ears, an old bronze part from the inside of a tap for the nose, and even a small chain and handle, that can be detached from the collar!
Note: both the salt shaker and the pepper grinder are bought new, only the added bits on their surfaces are recycled items. This has been intentional, I wanted them to be 'safe' to be used for their original purpose.
Hi my mom collects pepper mills and love cats. was wondering if you sell the cat pepper mill?

This is such a wonderfully creative and charming duo! Min and Max are not just functional kitchen tools but delightful little works of art with so much personality. The combination of distressed enamel paint and repurposed metallic elements gives them a unique character, making them truly one-of-a-kind.
