We don’t about the young one of today, but back in the days when visiting sweet shops and bakeries was a treat, the very sight of those shiny and pristine bell jars would make us salivate in anticipation. No, we are not doing a retro article on the joys of summer holidays and how the sight of the bell jars made us behave in a proper manner so that we would get the treat that we wanted. This article is going to take the bell jar away from being just a treat for the tastes and becoming a part of the art world bringing more joy in the form of a visual treat. In this article, we will take you through some options for art with bell jars and as you read, you will start feeling bad that you did not think of this yourself. It is definitely going to be as hard and complicated to learn as how to draw glass and transparent objects but will need some delicate handling in any case.
We have recently added some new bell jars to our collection, they are perfect for a rustic glamour look made from clear glass and a bronze metal base with prett

On January 14, 1963, poet Sylvia Plath published her first novel in England under the pseudonym “Victoria Lucas.” The book had a positive but relatively quiet reception; only a few week…
This elegant glass dome contains a beautiful and realistic nature scene featuring a cluster of handmade manita muscaria, more commonly known as fly agaric or fly amanita (arguably the most iconic mushroom / toadstool species) growing on a real preserved moss forest floor set on a real log slice. Each mushroom is handmade from polymer clay, painted with acrylic paint, and then treated with gloss varnish, so, no two mushrooms are ever the same. The real log base is covered with faux grassy earth, preserved reindeer moss, faux fern fronds, and tiny flowers. These fairy bell jar sculptures look like they have just been taken directly from a forest floor and preserved in this beautiful glass cloche, and are suitable for every nature lover who would like to bring a little bit of the forest into their home. Dimensions: The diameter of the bottom of the dome is 12cm. The diameter of the base is 14cm at the widest point Overall the display is 20cm Care advice: It is strongly advised that this glass dome should not be placed in full sun, because this would cause the naturally preserved moss to lose its vibrant colours and becomes brittle. Direct full sun will also increase the likelihood that the moss will release moisture, causing the glass dome to fog up*. *However, if your dome does fog up then simply lift the dome off and stand it on a tea towel for a couple of hours and then simply replace it.

Bell jars were originally laboratory equipment used to contain a vacuum environment. They were used to demonstrate the physics of how things functioned inside a vacuum. For example, a ringing alarm clock placed in a bell jar, with the air pumped out, stops ringing. In Victorian times, they were used in purely decorative ways without the vacuum feature. Displays in bell jars might include taxidermy, clocks, or fragile items. #1 - Wasp Nest My own bell jars above hold a small vintage photo frame and a wasp nest on a candlestick. Here are six more bell jar ideas from Pinterest: via #2 - Vintage Books I love this one with the vintage books and jar. Simple, yet wonderful. Notice - this one has no base. via #3 - Dried twigs & Feathers The cloche above has vintage bottles with twig clippings, a feather, a vintage photo...lovely. via # 4 - Vintage Keys Love love love. Not cheap, and it has a 4-5 month delivery time. Times like this are when I feel happy I'm frugal and creative. via #5 - Vintage Bottles I need to find another bell jar so I can place my vintage bottles inside it! via #6 - vintage page scrolls. The ones above are music pages. You could use Bible pages or other book pages, photos, etc. Tie them with cotton twine...even make a fun gift with it! Print secret messages or coupons for your family to redeem for favorite meal, a massage, I'll clean your room, one free walk the dog...whatever works as little gifts you can give. via #7 - Family Treasures, photos, etc. Compose your own vignette! What a great way to celebrate the upcoming holiday seasons! To see even more ideas, visit my Pinterest page HERE.

I can’t help but get excited when I come across a knock-off that’s totally unique and fun, and this lamp from Jessica at Mad In Crafts is all that and more! Jessica designed her “steampunk-style, industrial accent lamp” using a secondhand bell jar from Goodwill and metal odds and ends from her local Habitat for Humanity ReStore. She spent only $20 on materials, which is a far cry from the $1298 price tag of her inspiration!

Dutch multidisciplinary artist Vera van Wolferen (previously) produces miniature balsa wood sculptures, architectural objects that are either incorporated into animations or left motionless to tell their own stories. Her static works are often displayed beneath glass bell jars, leaving the audience to imagine that the tiny tree houses, cottages, and campers are neatly contained within their own universes. Van Wolferen also uses simple craft materials like cotton to enhance her sets, making it appear as if her sculpted homes are resting amongst the clouds. More

Her challenges with relationships and feeling as though she is never going to be taken seriously results in her falling into a deep depression. The Bell Jar is the only novel Sylvia Plath ever wrote, (Plath is mostly famous for her poetry). The book is partly based on her own experiences and dealings with mental illness. It was initially published in 1963 under the pseudonym Victoria Lucas and is still hugely popular today. You should read this book if… You are looking for a powerful coming of age novel that deals with serious issues You are interested in the life of Sylvia Plath You enjoy books that pose deep questions such as to what reality really means

As a part of the design team at Hobbykunst, I got a Glass Ornament from Meslissa Francis and was asked to make something out of it. I made a small "fairy in a bottle". The grass, base and the mushroom is decorated with old book pages. The little fairy boy is cut out from an old book. The fairy wings and butterflies are from Kort og Godt. The cut flower and small fairy in the grass are from an old Graphic 45 paper, Once Upon a Spring Time. Around the edge of the glass, I have glued a lace. The glass has a simple circular cardboard as base. This kind of base is not ideal to make 3D crafts om - so I made my own base. I have added the tutorial and templates for my base. _________________________________________________________ Templates and Copyright - Please read. This is my own template. You are free to use my templates, and publish your own craft. However, it would be nice if you link back to me. Please do not sell or publish my templates, as they are or edited!

Mine maler har copyright under Åndsverksloven. _________________________________________________________ Template: (Click on the picture to get a larger version): Tutorial: 1) Cut out the pieces. I have used 200g card stock for this base. 2) Use the small circle (top) and the 19 cm long rectangle. 3) Glue on the flips on one side of the rectangle. 4) Glue the side to the top circle, you now have the start of a cylinder. 5) Use the ring, that the glass will sit on, and the 24 cm rectangle. 6) Glue the side to the the ring. 7) Side glued to the ring 8) You have to sets for the base. Add some glue to the inside of the ring (not on the side, but on the inside of the ring itself) 9) Put the ring around the cylinder, and adjust the level of the ring - so the cylinder and the ring both touch the table. The base is starting to take form. 10) Turn the the base around. 11) Glue (the bottom) circle to the base. Make sure the flips from the inner circle are glued on the inside of the circle under the base, and the flips on the outside are glued on the outside of the circle under the base. 12) Glue the (decorative boarder under the base) to the bottom of the base. Tutorial for the mushroom: 13) Start with your base that you made above. 14) Take a piece of card (I have used 200g) 15) Role the card and glue together. 16) Make a hole in the base to fit the rolled card. I have decentered the hole, because I wanted the mushroom set to one side. 17) Put some glue in the hole and glue the rolled up paper. 18) Use a Styrofoam Egg (6cm). 19) Cut the top of the Styrofoam egg. You only need the top part of the egg for the mushroom 20) Make a hole inside the top of the styrofoam egg to fit the top of the rolled up paper. Add some glue to the hole. 21) Put the styrofoam piece on to the rolled card - and you have got a mushroom.

Bell Jars are the perfect home decor item. They seem to create inspiration and a feeling of significance to whatever is underneath it. Small items suddenly seem large. A collection becomes defined. Magic seems to happen whenever they are around. Perhaps it is the light that shines and sparkles from the reflective surface. Whatever it is, if you don't have any bell jars in your collection, maybe it's time to pick some up. Here are some ideas that I've found that may inspire you.
