I was responsible for the choice of the glass, so I had to prove it could be done! I had a vague idea for the lanterns when I started, but they've ended up far exceeding my expectations. I hope you'll have time to hop over to A Vintage Journey to take a look.
I'll be back in a few days with the next journal, so I hope to see you again soon, either here or elsewhere in Craftyblogland.
If you treat glass right, it doesn't crack. If you know the properties, you can make things; the colour of dusk and night and love.

If you don't mind hopping to see the full project, I'd love to share this in the Technique School over at Stamps and Stencils this month. I was really making these altered jars up as I went along, but there are plenty of process photos to take you through it
And since they're a pretty long way off from being a card, I'd like to make them another entry at the That's Crafty Challenge Blog where they're looking for, yes, Anything But Cards
