Sea Glass Mosaic Shelf/Coat Rack for my Bathroom

I wish I could find the "before" photo of this little coat rack. I bought it in the clearance section after Christmas for $.75- it was white with 4 large plastic snowmen on it (one over each hook). I pried them off, filled and sanded the holes they left behind and then added a little mosaic of sea glass, sand dollars and starfish. I've hung it in my (very green) bathroom helping to make the green a bit more bearable until I can get around to toning it down some!

It took me a Sunday afternoon football game to go from before to after. :)

It's sea glassing time! A new clock for my kitchen.

The temporary clock in my kitchen, swiped from my studio downstairs

The new clock before I got my hands on it

Purchased at Family Dollar by my mom-on-a-mission for $5.99 (I mentioned the clock I wanted and she hunted down the only one in the store on her hands and knees behind a ton of other boxes that were nowhere near the clocks! She's a mad woman, I tell you!)

Some E6000 glue and frosty smooth sea glass from my collection

Viola!
Kitchen is now sporting a beachy new time telling apparatus!
(As of these pictures, the glue is still drying, I was just too excited to wait. If the frostiness of the sea glass doesn't reappear after the glue is dry, I am thinking I will paint the backside of the glass with white glass paint. We'll see!)
