This is one of my favorite designs for the jars I've made for gifts. It "mirrors" another gifty creation I've been making for years and years - "Peek-a-Boo" pocket mirrors. For well over a decade, I've been covering the back of small craft mirrors with decorative clay designs. These are ideal to slip into a purse or pocket. Who wants to pull out a huge compact mirror when applying Carmex, lipstick, or checking your teeth for leftovers? I love that I can do these in manly colors and patterns so fellas can check their look on the sly too. Soon after I began making single mirrors, I also started attaching these to Carmex lids and embellishing around them for a similarly functional use. Securing the mirror are detailed millefiori cane leaves, tipped with SWAROVSKI ELEMENT flatback crystals framed by clay. A textured black clay border covers the rim and highlights the leaf slices. Who's the fairest Carmex wearer in the land?
