I worked on Jason's mother's Christmas present last night since I couldn't go to bed early anyways. When you live near a mortar range and they want to drop them at all hours of the night, it's kind of hard to sleep. Especially when they drop the ones that rattle your walls! I started with this inexpensive vase that had a few bad spots in the paint. It has a pretty vine like design, and I think it has character..jpg)
I started with a clear sealant paint that is supposed to help paint stick better and painted it along all the lines in the vine..jpg)

Then, after a 30 minute drying period, I followed with this pretty metallic looking blue paint that matches the walls of her living room. I finished it off by covering the whole thing with the sealant paint..jpg)
I think it turned out pretty nicely. We are planning on putting some fresh flowers in it before giving it to her, accompanied by a yummy seasonal Yankee candle:)
