The results were very pleasing and I think this little set is my favorite series I've made so far. I like it so much, in fact, that I'm keeping the fourth necklace ("Smoke", not pictured) to wear.
Check them out and see for yourself.

New items: Decoupage dish sets - Blue Urn and Green Orchid
Recently I found it again and decided to practice decoupaging images onto the plates. Those turned out so well that I thought maybe I could sell the sets in my ArtFire store. They'd make a great gift for someone seeking a cool way to stash coins or paperclips on their desktop, or they could be propped on a shelf to add a splash of color to any room.
What do you think?

New item: Green decoupage mirror - Orange Blossoms
New item: Red decoupage mirror - Superhero
After that it was just a matter of applying a few more coats of glue. Time consuming but fun.

In the works: Decoupage glass vase, three more decoupage wooden mirrors
It looked awful.
Fortunately, acrylic doesn't bond to glass very well, so I was able to peel it off without damaging the flowers. After cleaning it well, I decided to use pieces of crepe paper to give it a sort of papier mache background instead of a flat matte color. It's working really well so far and I like the way it looks; it almost appears that the glass itself has swirls of color in it. As soon as the glue is totally dry, I'll give it a coat of acrylic glaze for extra protection, let it cure, and get some photos.
I'm also working on some more decoupage mirrors and hope to have those finished by the end of the weekend. Stay tuned!
