Something for Mother's Day


A little gift that I made for guess who, in honor of Mother's Day. 




I bought this glitter deer ornament at a flea market. Let me tell you, getting all that glitter off was a real pain in the butt. I don't know how many days I had the poor thing soaking in water, which didn't even help very much. I ended up using cotton swabs dipped in nail polish remover and some toothpicks to get it all scraped off.


It took forever, but I got all the damn glitter off! I never noticed that the deer had a bow around its neck with all the sparkliness on.


Other materials were a reshaped cocktail drink stirrer and an old cut off bedpost.  Some universal glue, matte black spray paint, silver acrylics and finally some glossy varnish to top it all.




The final result:
