Cellophanes

I have been exploring the jam jar idea further.  I am quite pleased with the outcomes of drawing on cellophane covers for jam jars.  I have tried different pens (fine line markers .8 and .3, OHP pens, Sharpie markers, tippex pens, highlighter markers), and adding the jam label.

Cellophanes and waxed discs working to the lemon curd theme
Using different pens,
including yellow highlighter and gold marker to symbolise the lemons
Getting a good line is more difficult with some pens,
as the cellophanes slide around very easily
Note the trembly hand!
But I like the dimensionality of the holes.
They look very different when piled up
Showing a jam label attached too
Only certain pens work on the plain side of waxed discs.
Nothing works on the waxed side.
