Lovely job Melissabell they look great. When you say you varnished over them what did you use, ordinary clear varnish in a tin? I would like to try something like this so would appreciate your advice.
Thanks Sparkwell |

I used acrylic paint for the design and the varnish was just clear varnish that you use on wood etc. I'm sure other types of paint would work for the base aswell :)

Gotta admit I liked the originals but job well done. They do look lovely and it must've taken some patience to do such a quality job. Fair play to ya.
