| I didn't take a "before" picture of this, but it's just one of those big rectangular mirrors with no frame on it that are so common in bathrooms. I didn't want to try to take it down by myself, or to mess with power tools (still packed away from my move), so I glued craft marbles around the edge. It was a very inexpensive fix, and another fun use of the hot glue gun.
Here's a pic:

| Oh, how pretty, Iris! Your stenciling is pretty, too, did you do it? |
|
| Thanks, Des! Yes, I did it and it's not stenciling -- it's just freehand painting. I put a few more pictures of that bathroom and some other projects in the Gallery on the "Decorative and Tole Painting" board if you want to see them. Here's the link: http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/tole/nph-ind.cgi?type=gal Do you do stenciling? If you do, I'd love to see some pics. |

| It's "JUST" freehand painting???? Good heavens, Girl, that's some talent you have! I'm totally jealous It's beautiful and I like the way you did the mirror. Karen |

| Karen, thank you, but you can learn to do this if you want! Check out the Donna Dewberry books, and have fun! You might also be able to find a class in your area. Around here Michael's Crafts teaches classes in it. :) |
