After I decided to make things that I wanted to keep in the jars, I thought about the things that I go to during my anxiety. The first and foremost is my fiance, Erick. He helps me so much. (Unless, of course, I'm anxious because of him, haha.) Another safehaven is making art, specifically wheel throwing or using clay in general. It has helped me so much over the past year and I feel like the ceramics world is where I belong. A silly thing I love, as I'm young at heart, is glitter in water. It's not only pretty, but it's just so cool to look at! Glitter jars make me happy and help me breathe. The main reason I'm young at heart is because of Disney; it reminds me of a time in my life where I didn't have all the anxieties that I do as a young adult. And last, but not least, the ocean makes me lose all sadness and worry I've ever had. I love the ocean, the water, everything aquatic or water related.
So there were my jar ideas: Erick, art, glitter jar, Disney, and the ocean.
I collected a few things for each jar to represent them.

The glitter jar after it settles.
The back of it's label says, "Shake." |

Ceramics jar. Full of broken ceramic
pieces from my ceramics 1 class. |

My dearest Erick. Inside this jar are our tickets
to our first date, a few different rose petals that
have fallen off the ones I have kept,
and a photo roll of us in a photobooth
from our friends wedding. |

The ocean. It has sand and some shells
that aren't from a beach. It also has a crab
carcass and a sea shell covered in barnacles
that I got off Whidbey Island, WA. |

Disney! This jar has an autograph I got
from Ariel in Disney World,
Ariel's dress, and Flounder. |
