My buddies Jen over at
and
Janel at
have started a new
every other week
Stinky Linky Party!
The only rule is:
Your link must be to a blog post that is stinky smelly, stinky because it's terrible, stinky because it was a pain in the neck, stinky because you can't take pictures worth squat.
Well there is another party coming up
and I do have something worthy to
link up.
You may remember
and the round glass globe I bought
fully intending to get all
crafty on it and have a pretty new
piece of art for my garden.
Let's just say that "art" is subjective
and beauty is in the eye of the beholder shall we?
In the past I have taken nail polish
and poured it into clear glass
Christmas ornaments and they have
turned out beautifully.
I was sure I could do the same
with this globe.
I gathered a couple bottles
of nail polish from my stash
and prepared to create beauty.
I poured them all in, and swished them around like I did
with my Christmas ornaments.
Nothing happened!
They swished some but, it was quickly
apparent I was going to need a
55 gallon barrel of nail polish
to cover the inside of the globe.
I didn't have a 55 gallon barrel of nail polish handy
so, I thought maybe if I dumped in some nail polish remover
it would thin it and thus become swishable.
I was wrong.
Plan B.
I let the polish and remover dry and
then watered down some craft paint
and swished that around.
Unfortunately it only covered where there
was no polish.
It turned out all blothchy
and unevenly covered.
And, it smelled like a
nail salon the day before Prom!
Stinky!
I put it out in the garden anyway.
I kept it away from my roses
so that it didn't stink those up.
Luckily, the plants
have grown up around it
making it less noticable
In fact, if you stand back far enough,
it looks pretty darn good!
What about you?
Do you have a project that,
in your mind, was going to
take the blogging world by storm
but, wound up being a ole fail?
Dig out those photos, if you haven't burned them,
and share them at Jen & Janel's party.
We are not alone!
