playing house: etched jars

i've wanted to do this project for a long time but have always found jars this size to be too expensive. i stumbled upon these for cheap at fred meyer and they turned out just as i had imagined:




at some point i'm going to put the french words for sugar, rice, and flour on an adjacent side, and then choose three other potential jar-filler-words and their french counterparts for the facing sides. these sit above our kitchen sink. i like them a lot.

note to tim: yes, a pattern for your jacket can be found. we'll get on it when you get back to the states.

This and many other reasons makes me want to have cabinets that are opend faced.
