Acrylic Tray–a-nator 3000 - part deux
Took
another whack at the trays. This go
round I began by using spray adhesive in place of the Mod Podge. It should be noted that mr. V asserted that this method would not
work either. But I
had high hopes that a fine spray would not give me those pesky little air
pockets. Epic
fail. The spray adhesive
was a nightmare and saturated through the paper leaving an oily looking
mess. I
was so crushed I didn’t even take a snappy Q.
I went
back to the drawing board. I
hacked. I poked. I used different papers and I am much happier
with this result. Although it is not
perfect - there are still a few air pockets – there are considerably less than the
first time.
This
tray is a birthday present for my mother.
Hope she digs it. I, for one, am
in love with this chinoiserie type pattern.
In
other project news, I finished this bell-shaped hurricane over the weekend for
one of my clients. And I am over the
moon to be helping my dear, dear cousin with a stationary order for her bosses.
And last but not least, since this is a place of accountability, I am sharing this BEFORE picture of our kitchen. Well, it is technically, MID-PROJECT, but before we finish up the banquette cushions, window treatments, re-finish the floors, and fingers crossed, a supercalifab situation for that wall.
Ignore the Ikea shelf and random placement of the art and mirror. These are the remnants from a previous incarnation of the kitchen.
kisses, mrs. V
