Distressing is not so distressing

That's right, in fact distressing a project is so rewarding for me. 

(I love how sanding and glazing bring the details out.) 

For example I got this plate from a garage sale for $2.00
I saw that it had "good" bones
...for a plate
;)

I really didn't love the darker brown colour of the middle pattern.



  So......
I primed, painted and lightly distressed it and made it something wonderful.




 Gotta love Krylon's Ocean Blue with
 sanded edges and details





Now I just need to fill it with something.....I guess it's time to go shopping.
maybe something white or tarnished metal or maybe some mercury glass.
