I have been trying to use some of my cupboard full of alterable stash so decided to alter this mirror this morning. I have used old papers, collage images, pastels and paint from tester pots..its all sealed with pva glue. I have been painting the rooms with tester pots trying to decide what colour the room is going to be..I painted a small portion of one wall last night but it looked grey when it dried so glad I hadnt bought a big pot of paint! My sons were really funny in the paint shop this morning as they kept bringing me huge pots of bright red and green paint as I am trying to look at restful colours!!! I havent done any challenges for awhile and over at Theme Thursday its Paris..so be sure to look at all the other entries too..

Great job on the mirror! I have a drawer full of alterables, too, that have been waiting patiently...
Oh what a beautiful mirror Lorraine.
Absolutely gorgeous. I love it.
So I'm not the only one with a cupboard of things to alter, including an ikea mirror, lol. Love what you've done with yours :)
Beautiful work, Lorraine! Love it!
Fabulous work, Lorraine! You'll have a great piece for your freshly painted walls!
Ooh nice, Lorraine. I would like to hang that on my wall! xox Corrine
I know that feeling Lorraine I seem to acquire so much stuff just waiting to be altered.This is great by the way .
Hi Lorraine! Great to see you again! This altered mirror came out so nice! I have a whole stash of stuff laying around the house that I've been meaning to alter forever. You know, nothing is trash to collagists, right? So I certainly can't bear to part with any of it, even though I don't need 20 of everything. HA! Anyway, it's so nice to see your work. It's so gorgeous (I am going gaga over all those beautiful items on top of your blog page!) and it totally inspires me to get cracking on altering some of my stash!
Lovely frame Lorraine !! Cheap way of getting loads of acrylic paint ....using tester pots.
Beautiful:)
I have EIGHT of those mittors languishing in a cupboard waiting for inspiration to strike. I think you may have woken it up:) Thank you.
