Memory Jug Creations Continue....

Here are some photos of the in process work of the memory jugs (see my previous blog post)...


Part of the failed work...objects
slid off the side of the jug.
One of the larger ones I tried to go too fast and cover more surface than I should have...which resulted in the heavier objects I was trying to embed (with liquid nails), to slip off the surface of the jug... that was a real mess!  But fortunately, after waiting a few weeks, I was able to fill in the places that were slid off and it turned out wonderful too!

Staining the jugs, covered items with
painters tape to dry


This is my largest one,
and my favorite!

Fail!  The objects slid off..

After fixing the failed jug...

The finished jug, previously
a failed one.
  Here some links of videos of a few of the finished memory jugs... Link 1   and Link 2


The Making and Saving of Memories.... More Memory Jugs

Earlier this year, in the summer, I made my first memory jug with treasures found from my Dad's desk drawers.  I have now become a memory jug addict! 
Here are some of my creations in the past few months in various stages ... 

Some are small hand sized, some are 2+ feet tall, and one is over 3 1/2 feet tall.


See more of the finished details at the next post....
