Glass Cloche Dome Cover Cheese Dish Wooden Base

Hello, Hello, Hello everyone! How has your thrift shopping been lately? Mine has not been too eventful. What I have worked on was pieces I had found over time, and I have been upcycling them in one way, or another. 

Above you will see pictures of glass cloche dome covers with wooden bases that I have done over time. Most of them I kept it simple with painting the wooden bases. I primed them, and then painted one blue, one was pink, and another was white. On the white one I added a little bit more by using mod podge, and cutting a music sheet to fit. With the music sheet I coffee/tea stained it a little bit, and then burnt the edges before applying it to the base. 

At the very top you will see a black pedestal stand with the glass cloche dome I had done. This one was fun. A bit challenging, but still fun. I used the wooden base that is found with most of the domed cheese boards. I then attached it to a wooden candle holder. After the glue dried I applied a grey primer, and then painted it all black. Once that had dried I applied to this one also a fitted sheet music cut for it, stained, and mod podged. I took some scrap cut paper of the music sheet and applied it around the middle of the pedestal stand. Around the neck/top part of the stand I applied a white satiny ribbon that matched with the paper giving just a bit more character with this piece. 

I have the pink one, and the white one listed with my shop LilacsNDreams at Etsy which you can use this Etsy link to get there. I have recently been made aware of my Etsy link on the sidebar not working. The other links work fine except for Etsy. Not sure what the technical issue is with it, but wanted to make you aware of this. As for the top black one, and the blue one I am in the process of listing with them at Etsy. Pictures have been taken, revised, and they are almost there.

So, it may seem that sometimes while thrifting we get some of the craziest things, or we accumulate things with no definite goals in mind. Above is some of how it can all come together too. 

Thanks for sharing your time with Thrifty Shop Girl, and hope to see you all again soon. Take care, and Happy Thrifting!
