So I started with something plain. I bought some silver leaf and adhesive and just dove in.
Made my own votive that only cost me a dollar and a half. There is a slight difference in the color. The real mercury glass is on the left and my faux votive on the right.
But alone they look great. Or maybe I just think so. Not even Hubby likes them. He thinks it looks like cheap dollar store glass. Oh well, I like the look and I think it'll look beautiful at Christmas or Halloween. ( yes, there are a few Halloween decorations up at my house)
I've been working all weekend on 4 different appliqués. I caved and started a pumpkin pillow and put the raven on the back burner. I'm going to finish up something today! That's my promise to myself. So cross your fingers for me.Now back to work!
Take care, Brandie

That's the same reason I avoid the PB~ I always find something I love! LOL I think your faux mercury glass looks great~ it will be wonderful for the holidays. :-)
It looks great! I want to do this!
Pretty neat trick.
They look lovely, I like yours better, they're brighter and don't have the slightly gray look of the mercury glass.
Your silver leaf will tarnish a bit and not be so bright over time. I like it! husbands, pffff.
