I used diluted Unicorn Spit to give a vase and other glasses that I had an abstract look..
I found this Vase at a garage sale and thought it would be a good piece for a Unicorn Spit make over. I cleaned it, ensuring it was free from dust.
I sprayed the Vase with ESP (Easy Surface Prep) to ensure the Unicorn Spit would bond to the glass.
While the ESP dried I prepared two bottles. I diluted one bottle with just under half Purple Hill Majesty and about a quarter of that volume with water. I did the same with White Ning .
I wanted the Unicorn Spit to be of a liquid watery consistency enough to run however also be effective to cover the glass,
I held the Vase with one hand and began to squeeze Purple Hill Majesty randomly over the vase.
I added the white ning randomly, continually rotating my hand and tipping the vase up and down to move the Unicorn Spit around.
I added the Unicorn Spit and twisted my hand until I was happy with the blending of the colours that I created.
This is the vase dry, before Polyurethane,
These are the decorative glasses I finished before I did the vase, using the same technique.
I sealed the vase with 2 coats of polyurethane. Project complete
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
The design is beautiful!!! How do you stop the spit from running once you are happy with the design?
Does the vase/item have to have a smooth surface or can it have ridges?
Can you drink from these glasses. They are so unique!!!
