Ball jars take two


Design sponge has this photo of how one artist made a Ball Jar chandelier, with instructions on how to make it.

for non US readers: Ball Jars aka Mason jars are traditionally used in home canning, which is still common in small towns where folks "put up" their extra garden veggies and fruits to eat in the wintertime.

and no, except to make jelly out of fruit, I never canned my veggies. I usually froze the ones we didn't eat right away. Instructions on how to do that HERE.

and here in the Philippines, we eat everything fresh, so when there are flooded roads or when the Palenke burnt down, we only ate from our own small garden here at the house (peppers, tomatoes, and small eggplant, with papaya and bananas in season).
