I have done a little experiment. It been a while since I had done one. It was fun to do. It was with a barette that I made with bolts. I had been wearing it a lot. A few days ago, I discovered some rust on the bolts. I got the idea to put some Pébéo Vitrail Emerald (http://www.amazon.ca/Pebeo-Vitrail-Glass-Paint-Emerald/dp/B001DVZ9LU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1432512756&sr=8-1&keywords=pebeo+vitrail+emerald) to put on the bolts. The result are quite pleasing. I just wonder if a second coat is necessary. Here the result that I have right now:
I am quite pleased with the result. The photo doesn't show the uniformity of the paint on the bolts. I had some trouble taking the photo. I may try to take this one again, to see if I will end up with better result. But the color is quite stunning on the bolts. I just wonder if I will put a second coat of painting on it or not. Will it be a good idea? Or it could be a varnish to protect the color. I don't have anything that could seal the paint and offer some protection. I will have to look out for that.
It is a successful experimentation! I am glad to have a perfect experimentation. It is a rare thing. I think it is the furst time that I have a experimentation with such good result. Usually, it doesn't quite come up as my mind's picture it. Or I had some problems along the way, so I have to troubleshot them. Then, it change the project in another direction. Not a bad thing in itself, it end in something unexpected but satisfying. There is still a part of me that would like to end a experimental project closer to what I have in mind in the first place.
My mind is working right now. I may come up with some more experimentation. Or other projects to make. I know that I have some ideas and inspiration that are blending and there is some brainstorming that my brain is doing on right now, on a subconscious level. I let it work for now and it may pop up in my concious mind soon enough. Sometimes, ideas need to develop to full bloom before being exposed to the world.
