Here’s another fun thing I like to do with my fairy collages and that’s “capture” them in jars. The collages were done on old sheets from a French text book using images of children with butterfly wings added. I also like to add things like crowns and wands to them. The grass in the bottom of the jars is dyed Spanish moss I got from the craft store, I’ll sometimes add little flowers or leaves in the grass too. The lids of the jars are aged with inks and I also age shipping tags and stamp cute things like “Found Object” or “Specimen #___”. I like using large canning jars that do not have a pattern or writing on the glass. These can be found at most craft stores or you can use real old jar and just turn the writing to the back.
These jars are really difficult to photograph (I’m definitely *not* a photographer:)) because of the glare and distortion of the glass jars but here are a few pictures to give you an idea of what they look like.
These three jars are currently for sale, $10 each plus shipping. Contact me if you’re interested in purchasing one. I can take M.O., paypal or credit cards.
