SWEET SWEET RETRO CANDY JAR MADE OF PAPER CLAY

Hey-LO!  This paper clay candy jar was masterminded by moi jeez I guess a year or two ago, just sat sadly plainly on my shelf all this time.  I knew I wanted to do something cute but had no clue until the other day while watching my 49ers win again.  I hope it inspires you to do something so random but utilitarian at the same time, cute!

It started with a plastic container from the store, you know the kind the peanut brittle or cookies come in from Costco.  I actually had to handcraft a lid for it using a styrofoam ball for a handle (check out the Youtube video click here http://youtu.be/n1Gm207-rtA)  Then I let it dry for 2 years, LOL!!! I crack myself up!

Then I drew some random drawing after applying a coat of gesso and began painting away.  I chose the retro style colors and whimsy because it's fun!

Until my next rant/project... LOVE ONE ANOTHER!
