In the mood for silver seashells anyone?
Prices range from $20 for 4 or $345 for 6 {silver plated}!
I experimented with a few techniques for silvering my own seashells.
I tried acrylic paint, "Rub n Buff" and Enamel Craft Paint.
I wanted a highly reflective silver and one that didn't have a lot of black in it, like in my PB inspiration.
Based on these criteria I settled on Krylon's Chrome as a far and away favorite.
For now I put a bunch of them in a large mason jar in the bathroom. There' s no bathroom window, so this is with a flash...but the other pics show the color better.
This was the bathroom before it's makeover- you can check out how it looks now right here.
I'm pretty happy with the result, I think it looks pretty darn close to the original. I hope you all are having better project weather than I am!
