Pretty Blue Pot-UGLY

 

The good, bad, and UGLY-again

Pretty Blue Pot 

But Wait ,There's More...

It's not a complete loss. I recycle whenever I can. 

I don't own a printer ( I've had three. Ink cartridges are a rip off) so the title is handwritten. 

As for the blue container...

It's not over. It shall return.

That's it***

Glass on Glass Decoupaging

If you only want to see the pictures there are 15.

This will be my second attempt with decoupaging on glass from THE OUTSIDE. The great thing is that the INSIDE of the container is WATERPROOF. I like for all of my projects to be functional and not just another pretty face. (The outside is not waterproof. Wipe with a damp cloth and dry immediately with a dry cloth.)

Though the project was a success I was not pleased with the gilding foil. It flew everywhere no matter how I tried to contain it. It was on my clothes, the floor, etc. I won't buy this product again. Most times I get good results with Mod Podge. This type was to be a glossy finish. And though I used three coats, it came out with more of a matte finish.   

That's it ***
