The glass container that was painted by me

I have kept this glass container for more than 20 years. During spring cleaning, I found it sitting quietly in a drawer.

(I wonder what is the name given to this type of Carebear.)

My first piece of 3-D artwork. It is likely to be the product of attending art N craft lessons, either in Primary One or Two. I must have like red a lot and painted my Carebear red. My teacher helped with the stencils. She/He helped me by tracing the bear and the stars onto the glass container.

I still remember my teacher drew the thick black outline while I added colors to an otherwise plain looking glass container. It is a special type of paint, one that is used for "stained glass". Carebears was the IN cartoon at that time, hence the patterns are related to Carebears.

As I grew older, this humble glass container is cherished since it reminds me of the hours of fun I had during art lessons. The smiling faces of the stars and my Carebear are addictive, indeed.
