Failed Craft Projects
So Beatrix and I love to do craft projects together, and we've documented many of them here. But I find one major problem with social media is that everything looks all perfect and easy and successful, and you never learn about anyone's fails.
Well, we have plenty of those over here too!
For a year or so, we've had a set of glasses prefect for marbling with nail polish. It looks so perfect:
Right? Just swirl around some nail polish, kind of like suminagashi, dip the glass, and go!
So tonight we cleaned the glasses, picked the nail polish, and....
Well, it did not work like the picture.
The nail polish was gloppy and would not come out of the bottles. So then we tried to heat it, and then we tried to thin it with acetone, but first it would not come out of the bottles at all, and then it sort of dripped out.
So we tried to dip the glasses in anyway, and the nail polish looked more like, well, soap scum than marbling.
And then to proved problematic to remove from the glass.
We threw out the gloppy nil polish and the plastic bin, and nose we have a set of 8 unadorned glasses. So much for that project!
