WHAT'S IN THE JARS?/CONTEST!!!!








Pre-P.S. Click on the pictures for a better view of what's in the jars.
Hey, I've got some readers who are asking what's in the jars on the shelves in my earlier "Shelf Project" entry. I took some photos so that you can get an idea of the sorts of doo-dads I love. I can never get photos rearranged once they're uploaded, so these are out of order, but I've included some collages I made using some of the little things I collect. The theme of this project was "Red" and I used a children's cloth alphabet book that I took apart and did lots of different backgrounds on. I did about a dozen of them. The backgrounds range from molding paste to tissue paper to lace to textured paints and all the backgrounds are painted using reds, pinks and reddish browns. I added vintage pipecleaner dolls and gave them things to hold or things to go on the walls of their little worlds. Have a lovely day, readers.

CONTESTS!!!!!
1. Oh!!!! I keep forgetting. I want to have some contests/drawings. From the names of the first 10 people who comment on any post, I will draw a winner who will receive some goodies for your artwork in the mail. I'll hand-pick some fabulous things to send your way.

2. Of the first 10 people who link to my blog from theirs, I will draw a name and you will receive an Ultra-Deluxe package of goodies for your artwork. Just send me the link to your blog when you've linked to mine and I'll add your name to the drawing. And I will, of course, add a blogroll to mine and automatically add yours!!! Yay!!!

I really enjoyed reading your introduction at the Organized group and also love your blog. Since I suffer from Fibro/CFS and arthritis, it was very interesting and enlightening to read that you have battled and won over this crippling pain!
hugs,

I see I am not the only one to LOVE the idea of the glass jars as storage/art solution!
I need to wait to eat u some jam before I transform one of my jars into a sparkling universe of JUNK!

Interesting idea, storing in the jars. I might have to use that in my own studio

I collect some of my fibers in Ikea Jars too. I like the idea how even can decorate looking inside the crystal.
I NEED to be organizated as I have to share my room with my needlework stash too.
If you want you can visit next days my blog and see how is my little art corner.
