I kept flip-flopping between red, yellow and orange. Think. Think. Think. Eureka! I'll paint my vase with all three of those colors!
So I started off with my modge podge and 3 drops of yellow.
Then after a bit, I added a drop of red....then another drop of red, until I had to add more modge podge and then I added 3 drops of red and finished off my vase.
I love the effect. My father-in-law said the finished product looked like Carnival Glass, and I had my mother-in-law confirm that was a good thing because I'd never heard of carnival glass. She assured me that it was. :)
What I was surprised most by this technique was how fast it dried. I mean like less than 30 minutes. I was also surprised that my variegated technique turned out well, because I do not fancy myself a very good painter....but when dealing with somewhat straight lines I think I do ok. :)
There she is sitting pretty in her spot....I think she adds a nice touch to the space. :)
