So, I Painted Some Trophies

Ever since I first saw where someone had painted trophies, I wanted to try it.  On my day off yesterday, I rummaged through the bottom of my closet until I found my old trophies.  Most of them were from softball, a couple from D.A.R.E. and straight A's.  It was not as easy as one would imagine.  I primed and primed and primed and then put a coat...or three...of actual spray paint.  I had one, a basketball trophy, that just would not work.  The colors from the base ran and I ended up with a red, white and blue blob.  I did end up with three working and I'm very pleased.  I need to do more projects like that.  It clears my head.

The inspiration.

My creation.
