Glitter Galore!

Wednesday, August 12, 2009

Another product I used was glitter like the kind you get at any craft store.  I got mine at Hobby Lobby.  Before I started the project I read about the counter-painting process here.  Some people expressed regret that they didn't apply enough glitter.  Since I love glitter, always have, I wasn't going to make that mistake.  So I applied some square shapped white glitter and also black.  Then I used the golden slivers glitter, which was much smaller than the squares.  I should have used the slivery kind only, because the black glitter, for some strange reason stood up on end once I applied what should have been the final coating of Enviro-Tex. This caused bumps to appear in the surface of the Enviro-tex after it dried.  I had to apply another coat, which I was not very happy about, not just because it's pricey, but because it's a messy, gooey process.

Use with caution, but don't rule it out. Now that I've corrected the glitter fiasco, I absolutely love the way it gives shimmer and depth to my counter tops.
