#sixty one

Its a very wet, gloomy morning today

and

I have decided to have a day

spent entirely

on creative endeavours.

Some of my next few makes

are going to be 

either using up materials

I have cluttering up the house

or

projects that have been started and left,

some of them have sat around for many years.

Number sixty one

is one of these.

This mirror is from about the 1960's

and belonged to my Grandma.

It was a horrible gold colour 

and looking battered

but not in a good way.

I painted it with an emulsion tester pot

then highlighted 

the scroll work with

a tiny amount of

metallic finish wax

Rub 'n Buff in Antique Gold

Quite happy with it

and will probably hang it on the wall now
