Miss Mandi's New Mirror!

I love thrifting, I got this little gem for 50 cents and just repainted the back plain brown oval piece. How cool is that!!

Nice!  I don't know how you do it all.  I think I'm busy, but when I see all that you do.

I always draw on the back of mine - Sharpie Marker.

And I just bought a new mirror today - because gak - head-honcho client broke my previous one which I took out for him after I had already cleared it away at the end of the gig.  I bought the same $5 plastic one that I previously bought.  Not as beautiful as the faces we'll see in it, but LightWeight!  LightWeight is Very Important to me.

What material is your beautiful mirror framed in?
What kind of paints did you use?

[MandiIlene]

Its not a light as my mirrors trimmed in fun foam shapes I get from the Dollar Tree but it is just wood or pressed board frame. I also found this really cool "memory keeper" at Target for $2.50 in the front cheap section (my favorite spot) and it holds pictures/papers in clear pockets to hang on a wall. I am still finishing my halloween and christmas designs to put in it. I will upload when I am done.

Oh I used acrylic paints for the mirror and clear coated the heck out of it with spray shellac.
