Feb 16th: Acrylic on Glass Ornament
Well, it's finished! Oh the issues I had with the sealant. So here's the process: I take e
lmer's glue and smear it around close to the edge of the painting. This makes a nice, clean line whenever I'm done spraying sealant. It peels right off. Then I put plastic wrap over the rest of the bulb to keep it nice and clear. Well, last night I grabbed some matte spray, not thinking much of it and ended up with a cloudy finish. Crap. I needed to spray gloss! So I rummaged around and found the clear gloss. Luckily, when I put on a coat of gloss and stuffed the bulb with tulle, it looks just fine. I was a little weary when I was putting tulle in the bulb. I've 
never used it in an ornament before and I was skeptical as to whether or not it would look good. It totally does. You can't put in a lot though, because you can't see the nice creases it makes. Just a little. I hot glue the caps on all the ornaments because that would suck if it just came off. Anyways, it's time to ship it and move on to my next project!
