The jar came in three pieces, a base, a glass canister and lid. I first spray painted the base and lid a flat black. For the jar, I took acrylic black paint and watered it down a little but didn’t mix it thoroughly. With a large spoon, I placed a goopy glob in the jar and then tilted it, letting the remants splash then drip out. With a hair dryer, I dried the paint so that the thinner paint would adhere and the globs crusted over. I repeated the process until the jar was covered.

The next day, I took a bright yellow paint and a green paint and prepared dishes of very watered down paint. In the third dish, I mixed the yellow and green to form a third color. I repeated the process above alternately dripping and drying the three paints. With a straw I was able to control the streams and push them around.

To muck up the outside of the smooth glass, I used Pumpkin Rot’s brilliant idea of coating it with Elmer’s glue. I drilled a hole in the bottom for the light, and finished the Soul Catcher Jar with printed a creepy sign.
