Altered Jar

The challenges I'm submitting this jar to were perfect to give me the push I needed to get a couple things off my desk.  I've had this jar sitting for a couple weeks now, just waiting for me to do something with it.  And the cameo was off of a hair tie purchased at least a year and half ago!!  It was time to use them, and I love the way this little jar came together.

All of the flowers were made by me.  The lid is a screw on style lid, and I love how wrapping the twine around the edge made it so easy to grip.

The jar lid was painted with primer, then with a mixture of white metallic paint with a drop of turquoise.  After that dried, I painted a thick coat of Rock Candy on (just the top) to get the crackle effect.  

I will be using the jar to hold the end pieces of ribbon that don't like to stay on their spools.  I wrap them on a round top clothes pin to keep them from getting tangled and knotted.
