Clearly I have been in a mood lately. A crafting mood.
I've seen people in the "blogosphere" painting thrift store vases and pitchers lately so I thought I would give it a shot.
I found this pitcher and basin(?) at Goodwill the other day for just $2.50.
I felt a little guilty covering up all the hard work that some machine in China did, but oh well. It needed a new life.
I always worry a little when I paint something that some Antiques Roadshow person is going to randomly see this and recognize it as a million dollar artifact.
That I ruined.
But too bad. I like it this way.
I primed it with the expensive primer, and then I used the 97 cent economy spray paint on top. I think it worked well.
Now I need to decide where to put it...
love it!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to do a similar such project. I like the way yours turned out.
ReplyDeletewow, it looks surprisingly good.
ReplyDeletewhoa, not because i was questioning your skills or anything.
oooh I love this! I love Goodwill for this very reason!!! I think you should teach me how to be more crafty! I kinda' suck!
ReplyDeletei wish i lived by you so we could craft together. i need some help motivating me to get out-i guess i'll just take your ideas and use them here in atlanta... :)
ReplyDeletevery cool. And yes, this does mean I updated my blog.
