Just perfect for
summer vacation time, not that I'm going on a vacation any time soon.
:(
Oh well but I have
gone in the past and collected these wonderful shells from Florida.
I like to use them
every now and then like this project for instance. But not all of
them. I'd like to save some of them for reference after all. :)
Anyhow I had this
really boring and ugly old light switch face plate I had to look at
every day for several years now and I finally had it. Since I always
wanted a tropical themed design for my house but currently can't, :(
I decided to at least add my personal touch to at least my personal
space. The bed room.
I took one brand new
plain Jane light switch face plate and I first painted it with a
special acrylic that simulated the inside of a shell. A sort of a
pearly white look. I then glued an assortment of shells and arranged
it in a certain pleasing way. Then finally clear-coated it with an
acrylic gloss and for the finishing touches added some simulated
pearls.
Now I have something
to switch on with a bit of class.
