Altered Bottles and Jars


Sunday was our Creative Spirits gathering to create altered bottles and jars.  We had a very creative time and here are some of mine.  I couldn't resist this face.  She is Dorothy Young, the last surviving stage assistant of illusionist Harry Houdini, and she has died at the age of 103.  Her death was announced on March 24th, the day that would have been Houdini's 137th birthday.


She was an accomplished dancer and so I have given her this "backbone" with seeds pods on the bottom.


I think they make lovely dancing slippers!


I love this pretty jar from "Elizabethan Sweet Orange Marmalade" and felt it was perfect for this pretty little miss amid her pink flowers.


She lives among the prairie grass and hidden bird eggs.


And another favorite jelly jar of mine is "Favorit" Forest Berries.  A perfect place for a fairy with red fairy wings to match the delicious berries.


This snowlady is one that I had made a long time ago at a Christmas retreat at The Center.  I thought I'd bring her along to the party as she wanted to get out one more time before Spring!




Then... home to do some Easter pictures with Danielle.  Here, Mommy Bunny is carrying lots of bags from the store.  And her one child is helping by pushing Baby Bunny in the stroller.  It was quite a story she told!

And Easter Eggs, of course!

loving the egg in the one jar and your granddaughters work has really become more detailed over the years, great to see as she sees.
