Dress Form Painted
On my "to do" list was painting one of my dress forms to use as a flower pin/jewelry display. I have three forms and they are counter height covered with a cream fabric. The pins are made from vintage millinary flowers, vintage lace/fabric and vintage buttons/jewelry.
I wanted to paint the form and then add a crinoline for the pins and use the top for jewelry.
I had seen some fabric spray paint and thought it would be a quick and easy way to get 'er done. I had a vision of a nice black top as a base. Well, sigh, we all know that usually isn't what happens. The paint would sputter and spit out big drops on the first spray. I did several light coats as directed and it turned out a dirty gray. Wouldn't have minded the gray if it had been a pretty gray... but this had splotches and patches. Not purty and definitely not what I had envisioned.
After getting the first few coats on and not having much left in the bottle I decided I had nuthin' to lose so got out my bottle of black glitter paint. Oh YES ! It worked beautifully.
I'm tellin' ya, this DecorArt Twinkles is the best thing since cheese and grits. You can click on the photo for a good close up.
Now I had the black glitter top I had envisioned. It was a very rushed day for me so I had to take the last photo at my booth and people were shopping it while I was trying to add items. That isn't a complaint ! :))
