BALL JARS 3

Here another wash of color has been added, miskit still applied.

Then I removed the miskit and began working on each jar, slowly(!).

  4. Memories of my grandmother's cellar before she canned the tomatoes and made the most awful pickles in the world! Love the cools and warms in this one.

  5. Lisa, Cynnie and Vicki - thanks!
    Rhonda - was that "awesome" or "awful" pickles???
    Someone told me they had painted jars a few years ago and a man viewing the painting was overheard to say "why should I buy that when I can go to my mom's basement and see the real thing?"
    Glad to know you all appreciate this!!!!
