Glazin'

I've been working away at crafting a few stellar cake plates with find from my local thrift store, but I par for the course with me, I have yet to dump the pictures from my camera onto my computer. So unfortunately I can't show them off just yet. Boo.

But what I can say is that in the process of creation I'm learning to spray paint. Who knew it could so tricky? My biggest frustration to date has been an unwanted texture build-up that I believe is caused by my overzealous application of the paint. Either that or I need to be priming my pieces first...what can I say, I want instant gratification with fewer steps in the process.

The other thing I'm learning is that some things may also require a glazin' to get them to look their best.

Today I found this blog tutorial at All Things Thrifty on how to glaze with the best of 'em, and I don't want to lose the knowledge so I'm posting the link here for future reference. Doesn't glaze make such a huge difference to the texture!?

I can't wait to see how it'll add to, or totally screw up as ever the case may be, my upcycled items. I'll keep you blog posted... hahaha, I crack myself up.
