mason jar update

I completed the last step and baked the recently painted mason jars.

Here is what I learned:

The more thinner you add to the paint, and thus the thinner the coat you put on the jars, the better.
The first few jars the aquamarine paint in very thick, but by the last few jars I had gotten the right mixture pretty well down.

Also, invest in a good fan brush. I bought the cheapest one, and the bristles kept banding together causing giant brush marks. These big brush marks didn't disappear so well when I baked the glass.

I brought the worse two jars to work to use for pens holders, but the rest will be put into action. Y'all just want the cookies they may possibly contain anyway. ;)
