Summer Shell Art with "make your own" Mercury Glass



I am finally settled in the new house long enough to start creating again. It took awhile to find my hot glue gun but after I did it was all a go. With piles of shells collected from multiple vacations I decided to dress the walls for the summer in a seaside way. Thankfully I was able to rescue these windows from the "I need to get rid of everything" garage sale we had before the move. Did you know that you could turn any glass into Mercury glass. With this magic spray paint product called "Looking Glass",  I found mine at Hobby Lobby,  but it is also available on Amazon. It works in reverse. You spray it on the backside of a window as in this case, or the inside of a vase so from the right side it looks like Mercury glass  with reflective mirror effect.. Love it!
So these old windows have new life as Mercury glass mirrors with shells hot glued on. When I am tired of them or the summer is over I will just pull the shells of and create something new. Krylon Looking Glass Mirror-Like Paint
