Texas and Christmas

Holiday craft shows are coming up soon, and a big crop of new supplies have heading my way — including Christmas tree ornaments.  While I’m waiting for everything to arrive, I’m doing my testing and prototyping on media beyond glass, and so harvested a fine basket of goodies to test and/or upcycle from my local goodwill:

Upcycling run - mugs, picture frames, vases

(I won’t be painting the skull socks. Those are for my daughter.)

The most recommended sealant to make mugs dishwasher safe takes 28 days to cure and is apparently tricky to apply correctly, so I don’t know that dishwasher-safe mugs will make it in time for the holidays, but clearly the time to start is now.
