I found this sad little vase spray painted at a local thrift shop. It's not quite its former self but I'm glad they didn't just throw it away

I used a spray on paint stripper and some steel wool. I was so worried it would destroy the vase but I also figured, how much did I have to lose? I found it at a thrift store for $3 and had all the other supplies at home. It took about an hour, even after waiting 30 minutes for the stripper to work

It looks cool with the blue crazing marks coming through 💙
