Shrine
I bought this little mirror about 2 years ago.I liked it and knew I wanted to change it,but up on a shelf it stayed,until now.
I removed the mirror,and repainted the whole thing,(it was a grayish brown shade)then I dribbled hot glue,beeswax and a little bit of melted crayon to camouflage the designs which were carved into it. they were fish and weird leafy things,that I didn't really like.Plus I wanted a bit of texture.You can still kinda see them but they aren't so bad now.
Her favorite canary figurine makes it a little more personal, as do the flower seed packets hidden in the little drawer.The sleeping cherub was mine,but I think she would have liked him.
Ok that's it for now, see you later for Pink Saturday!

marfi everything about this is so lovely. What a brilliant way to camouflage the designs. I still want to try working with beeswax. I'm guessing this is your mom? She is very beautiful.
