I took pics of my 2 grandchildren here,and my daughter sent me one of her son laying on grass,but I made him jumping in the air:) I call them Pixies in a Jar........or maybe they are Angels in a Jar:)

    Thank you Hazie:) I should have mentioned that I used photo paper and printed them out on my computer at 4x6 size, so I got all 3 on one sheet of paper. And I used Easter grass filler, the opal kind,and some blue ,all mixed together to fill the jar,and I did add a small battery operated votive behind their heads.

    Thanks ya'll :) Nice, I used photoshop and got some wings brushes and used that,and some flower brushes,and some star brushes. I cut around the outlines after I painted them. I used old,old jars, I was going to use newer ones for the gifts, but realized the new ones have writings on all 4 sides:( so you may want to use a jar that food comes in at the grocery store. The ones I make for myself I will be using the zinc lids. Also I used a set of glitter glue pens I think it was 6 colors in a set for $2.

    I gave these to my daughter in law today,and she almost cried,she loved them so much :) It's just photo quality paper,some free brushes d/l'd from the internet, some Easter grass or basket filler,some fine glitter glue,and I cut out the outline of them after the glue dried. I did add some jewels later,and a battery operated votive I stuck inside the lid with rolled up tape.I sort of curled the photos to make them the shape of the jar,the filler holds them up. I can't wait to find out how my daughter likes hers:)
