Today I'm sharing a recent project that I did upstyling an old bathroom mirror for my son's bedroom. The theme he asked me for was the Solar System - he wanted planets.
As you can see from the photos there is a panel at the top of the mirror which was the perfect place to add something interesting.
I painted on three circles using a cup, a glass, and a small bowl. Next I used some modelling clay to add texture to the planets. I glued it down with some general craft glue and smoothed out some parts that were too prominent. I then used some wood glue to create splashes over the entire area and left to dry.
Next I painted the planets mixing various colours. Green and blue (earth) red and blue, and red and yellow (orange). I painted the background using medium grey and white acrylic paint and I splattered on white for effect and added glitter. When dry I removed the splashes of wood glue which created a star-like effect. I then sealed with a coat of varnish.
Bye for now
