Mirror Mirror Tute

18 years ago

I just couldn't let little Mandy out do me? :)

Boy am I EXHAUSTED!

I just got done now!

I ended up inventing my own way of doing it with saving each layer separate and adding them in AS wizard.

I erased the name as the mirror moved to the left.

That part I remember.

I don't even know if I am coming or going right now!

I have to lay off the tutes for awhile until I have recuperated from this one. My old mind can't put up with this guessing game to where I have to think!

I think the way I did it was to duplicate each layer as many times as I wanted to move the mirror across my name and then merge a set of each mirror, name and flipped name after deleting the part of the flipped name that wouldn't be shown in the reflection. That probably doesn't make sense but I had to do it several times before I remembered to line up the mirror and the 2 names before deleting part of it. I also added a layer and made a straight line across to line up the mouse as I moved it and then closed the line layer when I merged.
Does that make any sense at all??? hahah

Neither one makes sense to me. LOL
I'm giving up on this one unless someone can write the tut in language I can understand.
I need an easy one.
Congratulations Urlee I knew you could do it.

Here's another picture, from a concrete sink/countertop site that we've been mousing around in, getting ideas for concrete sinks. (I have no connection with the company; we live on the other coast. We found this site when searching for info about concrete sinks on GW!) From GardenWeb Photos Here is a link that might be useful: Here's a link to the concrete site

Make a frame for existing mirror, or buy a pricey new mirror?

You probably can't get the mirror off the wall, because they often (at least where I live) glue them on. Frames are an easy diy (or have a carpenter do it) using molding from a big box store or a molding/trim store. I'm not sure an actual picture frame would work, depending on the "rabbet" depth.... I suppose you could ask, but that certainly sounds expensive, compared to just mitered-corner molding easily spray painted and glued on to the existing mirror.

Thought this beveled mirror was nice and if too narrow at 34” you can balance with a lamp to the side and layering. https://www.wayfair.com/decor-pillows/pdp/birch-lane-dole-traditional-beveled-accent-mirror-w004204731.html Have you considered hanging art instead, for a change and more contrast?

How are you lighting the space? I would do a recessed light in the middle of the space, one in the shower and one in the toilet area. Then do 2 linear sconces on either side of a framed mirror or 2 sconces placed on/through a wall-to-wall mirror.

Urlee, you did a fantistic job!

I still haven't got this one right.

It was very confusing for me too. I lost track of how many times I tried it before getting it. I'm no good at writing the tuts so hopefully someone can come up with a good one.
