I originally started off making waterslide decals and applying them to acetate for the window frame - the original idea was to have the lettering on clear "glass". Well, that didn't work! The edge of the decal showed up terribly. So I decided that I would go for an "etched glass" look.
I found something to use as the etched glass and I really love the look I have achieved, because it also looks as though there are raindrops forming on the outside of the window. I abandoned my tried and trusty waterslide decals as well and tried a new medium and I love the result. I had to take lots of photos to show you!
It wasn't easy to photograph - I needed to get some backlighting going on to show the light coming through the window, but I also wanted to show the white shabby frame off as well. Hence there are lots of photos today.
I thought this would look lovely leaning against a wall! Paris Flea Market style....how cute is this??
Now I have figured out how to do it, I have lots more ideas to try out....
