I've taken a very nice lidded jar made of heavy glass and added pieces of art glass and iridescent glass gems. The art glass is a assortment of textured, iridescent, marbled and opaque varieties. Surrounding the glass and gems is black polymer clay. Once the clay was cured, I painted it with a variety of metallic paints in antique gold, jade, emerald and gold leaf.
The jar weighs nearly 3lbs and measures 4.75" square and 5" tall.
This is a one of a kind piece of functional art. Beautiful on it's own, it could also be used to hold any number of things! It is especially pretty when placed near a sunny window.
