I have been working hard on my altered mirror, and woo hoo, it’s finally finished. Below is how it looked last time you saw it ….
I have to admit at this stage I wasn’t sure if it would look right, I had gone into it very all guns blazing, without any real planning and frankly it looked “basic” …. however, I don’t like to give up. But even now it’s done, I question if it was the “best” use of my Promarker pens, quite a lot of them were on their last legs though, so perhaps it’s time I treated myself to a couple of new sets …. so if anyone knows where I can get some cheap???? 
……This is how far I got before deciding that I shouldn’t do anymore until I had invested in a couple of new permanent black pens, the emulsion paint was good base for the colours, but it didn’t half dry the nibs of the black pens I already had.
And then …… I took the risk of spoiling it all …. by adding great clusters of pink, turquoise and clear flat backed gems …..
….. but, I think the risk paid off as it does look stunning, if I may say so myself, but not everybody’s cup of tea I know.
The photos just don’t really do it justice ….. because in the right light the gems are sooooo, sooooo sparkly. I am dead chuffed ….. only problem is …. I don’t have anywhere to hang it now …… doh!
