Cute fruit jam jars clip art

I had a wonderful person commission me recently for Emile and Remy's own Jam Jars, kiwi and peach respectably.

They came out sure cute even if coloring the kiwi was a pain. Super happy I was commissioned to draw these bbs.

P.S. do not repost or use as these are paid for works. Thank you!

I started this project before the home order -- I can’t actually remember when, but it has to have been after December because the jam jars were from a jam advent calendar. However, I’m pretty sure the lights were assembled, just not hung up, by February. Which argues strongly for the idea that I was using a power drill in January while concussed, which is not something I would advise anyone to do, but unfortunately a side effect of TBI is that you tend not to make good decisions. 

Anyway, I took a bunch of the tiny sample jam jars, removed the labels and washed them thoroughly, and then drilled a small hole in the thin metal lid of each one. I threaded an LED bulb from a cheap string of battery-power Ikea lights through each hole and sealed the hole with a healthy dollop of E6000 glue, which I let cure, then added a second dollop on top just to make sure they were really glued in, and that was that. 

I’ve been trying to find a good place to hang them because they are a bit heavy and of course a little breakable, so they had to go somewhere the cats couldn’t get them. I finally settled on the frame of the mud nook. I think it adds a nice effect to the entryway of the unit.
