I'm not doing that good this wee so this is short and sweet. I was trying to go for a weathered look. Like it had been out in the wild for years. It kinda works but it's not my best work. Fingeres crossed next weeks will be better.

Happy Hunting!

I'm kinda proud that this one made It out into the world as this week was moving week. Not that I've actually moved in, just most of my stuff is now in the flat. In all my wisdom this now includes all my jar making stuff.......doh! So here is one I made earlier.

I was listening to the song Full of Grace while drawing this jar so I wrote the lyrics on the back.

This weeks jar was pretty straight forward, thank goodness. I am still snowed under with stress and it's only getting worse each week as we move closer to moving day. But anyway rambling...yes this week I was inspired by something I saw on the telly and so this jar was made.

This jar is beautiful if you put sunlight behind it. The light shines through and you get a sort of stained glass effect.
Now I'd like to dedicate this Jar to a friend of mine who has been having a horrid time of it. But even though the world is evil to her and gives her pain. She still manages to be one of the strongest, sweetest most wonderful people I know. She is always there for others and always manages to put a smile on my face. She has been a great supporter of these jars ever since I started, I only wish I could put one out for her to find.
So to Miss Tara, this jar is for you, cause you are beautiful in every way.

Jar Hunters might have to hurry to nab this one, i spotted someone with there eye on it 

Happy Hunting!

This week again has not been easy. I have been trying to hold onto this project for dear life but my mind has been failing me. It's very hard to be creative when under a huge amount of stress. The stress of the move is starting to do my head in. I don't break down that often.....maybe once a year. But in the last week I've lost count of the amount of times I've ended up collapsed on the floor in complete disarray and emotional exhaustion.

Whoever said moving was one of the 3 most stressful things you could do, really wasn't kidding.

Thank goodness for good friends, family and Origami. You can make something pretty, while relaxing and it takes all your concentration. So you can be thinking about forms, or van hiring or whether your tenancy agreement makes any sense. 

Downton Abbey and ice cream are a great help too, though not for much longer.....I really wish the BBC would get a move on and bring Sherlock back.

So to summarise, moving and forms bad......Origami and Downton good.

And fingers crossed I can continue this project without having to stop at some point. I really hope that doesn't happen as I am really enjoying it when I can.

Happy Hunting!
