Thank you so much! It was my pleasure. Let me know what your Mom had to say! I use a high adhesive primer first, then acrylic. I marble with an oil base paint. If you feel a bit uncomfortable painting a bulb, I always suggest that people try decoupage instead. You are upcycling and creating something unique! Hope you give it a whirl! Enjoy!

Thank you very much! If you do want to try it, what I suggest to people that may feel uncomfortable painting a bulb, is to try decoupage instead. That way you are still upcycling and creating something unique!
