Repainted Vase

Some years ago I had a plain globe vase that I painted.  No, this isn't the vase, but it was similar








 And this is how I painted it, during that time I was experimenting with crackle, and it didn't do very well, but I liked the lacy affect.








so I stuck an arrangement in it and moved it here...








That was then, this is now.  

I've since changed my color scheme, so I decided to repaint it...

I primed both the vase and flower with some spray primer I had left over











I liked how I could still see all of the irregular formations in my vase, and how the colors still popped through in the flower.

I then painted the vase a Grey Blue






Then chalked and later stressed it (you can see the specks of gold peeking through).







I placed it on the floor in my bedroom along with a mirror I had leaning against the wall, and after some thought decided to let the flower lean over into the mirror.















Enjoy your day and don't forget to LET YOUR CREATIVITY FLOW!
