    Can you show me photos of how you did/plan to use your mercury glass?  I am trying to piece our decor together in my mind and mercury glass is an element I'd love to use.  Also, where did you buy your mercury glass?  Thanks in advance!

    Martha Stewart had a DIY about this in January. Here's a blog who tried it. I'm tempted to do some myself, it looks great!

    Just as a heads up, I've been trying to find the Krylon Looking Glass spray paint and they are literally no retailers that sell it in the province I live in. I called Krylon and they're sending me out a sample though in 5-7 business days and said I could order through Sherwin-Williams. Hooray! I hope you have better luck than I do, but I like the idea of free stuff too ;)

    I have some center piece glass that I was trying to figure out how to make silver.  I think that I will try this.  Thanks!!!

    I used mercury glass votive candleholders.  Also used chargers that looked like mercury glass.
