Ok, I'm sure most of you know that cheese dishes/domes turned cloches are popping up all over blogland. I think they're pretty...not exactly my style, but pretty nonetheless. So when I spotted the glass dome at Goodwill for 1.49 I decided to experiment. A few weeks later I found the wooden base at a different thrift store for .79. And then a couple of weeks later I found the candle holder for .99.
I used a good strong glue and attached the candleholder to the base. Roughed it up, painted the blue part a dark brown, then did a couple of layers of dry brushing over the entire thing, and added a clear coat.
And here's what I got.
I'm not exactly sure what I'm going to do with it now because like I said, not really my style, but it was fun to experiment.
You could start an Etsy shop. :) Seems like creativity abounds with you. It is cute - an experiment that turned out well.
