For the mirror piece, what about doing the crackle method with fine lines allowing the dark to show through. Recently I saw an idea of taking pieces of furniture this this and installing them over door openings - don't know the size of the mirror but it would take a large space over a door to do this. Could put it over a bathroom vanity as the mirror.<br /><br />Sending prayers and good thoughts to you and your Mom - may God bless the both of you.jabrebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18227922200864937462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-47041131709818812662010-07-08T21:51:35.115-04:002010-07-08T21:51:35.115-04:00That mirror...those bird dishes...A Definite Score...That mirror...those bird dishes...A Definite Score!Sherriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06795789596294894575noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1901543461995472408.post-12553848447762323002010-07-08T16:12:49.299-04:002010-07-08T16:12:49.299-04:00Laura, I'm so glad you made it out there befor...Laura, I'm so glad you made it out there before the truck!

Your reaction to the mirror was identical to mine when I found the mirror frame that became the huge chalkboard that was in my shop and now in my studio. Maybe cover the unpainted part in old sheet music or book pages? I know whatever you do will be wonderful.
