Art is in the eye of the beholder and so too are the images that inspire. My work varies from painting, drawing , sculpting and photography. I get my inspiration from artists that I love, things that surround me, my family and my imagination.

Candle creations

I saw this idea on a site that used lace and Mod Podge to decorate the outside of a ceramic pot.
So I got thinking- what about glass!  
 I knew that I had a stash of lace in an old suitcase, Mod Podge and this gorgeous little jar that once had a scented candle in it for the project.
 I lined my bread board with cling wrap, and applied the Mod Podge onto one side of the lace.
 I then stuck the lace around the glass jar and allowed it to dry.
 And look at how pretty it was with a candle in it!  I am so please with it that I am going to do this technique to a few other jars so that I can group them together!!
 See even I can be 'vintage' when I want to be!!
