Playing with Shuttle

There's nothing new with that, so you may think. I'm not talking about tatting with my shuttle.
I have been wanting to get my hands on blinging my own shuttle for a while... A couple of days back while out in the malls, I managed to pick up the paint and varnish, and have all the stuff I needed to do it!
The inspiration came from Diane, who gave some awesome instructions here, and Decorama also gave a very useful tutorial on how to bling a shuttle.
I have a good handful of Clovers that are loaded, and I didn't want to ruin or soil them, this being the first time I'm 'messing around' with a shuttle! So I went digging in my basket of tatting supplies, and found an empty shuttle (that I'd abandoned).
The result of a few hours of playing with paint, modge podge, serviettes, varnish and lots of patience (because I had to give time for the layers of paint, modge podge, etc, to dry) is...

On the front...
On the back...
I quite like what I did. Now that I've gained some confidence from this experience, more pretty shuttles will (hopefully) be added to my collection!
