((KIM MYLES)) Ruthie, we have a guest. ((RUTHIE)) Yes, this is my mom, Gladys. ((KIM)) Hi! ((GLADYS)) Thank you for inviting me. ((KIM)) Oh, my pleasure! Here’s what I wanna do. You had a fabulous standing mirror in the room. I liked it, but I thought that we could change it’s profile a little bit. ((RUTHIE)) Okay. ((KIM)) So, we’re gonna turn it into a wall mounted mirror. ((RUTHIE)) Oh, nice! ((KIM)) So, we hang it. And then use costume jewelry, which you generously donated to this collection. And we’re going to decorate the top of the mirror, and then we’re gonna spray paint it all cream, and it’s just gonna become sculptural. ((RUTHIE)) Okay. ((KIM)) Why don’t we take the mirror off of its base. ((RUTHIE)) Okay. ((KIM)) Kind of picking and choosing the kind of shapes we wanna lay in, and basically we’re just gonna build up the top fifth of the mirror. So, let’s make it what we want. Go ahead and glue that in. Now, we pull it all together with the color. Peel away the paper, and look at our creation. ((RUTHIE)) Okay. Alright. Nice! Look at that! ((GLADYS)) Oh my goodness! ((RUTHIE)) Hello! ((KIM)) A brand new mirror. ((GLADYS)) When my grandchildren are born, you know, it’s a good thing to say, ‘oh, my grandma did it!’ ((KIM)) I heard a hint in there for you, Ruthie! Somebody wants some grandkids. (LAUGHS) ((RUTHIE)) I think this mirror’s gonna look fantastic on the wall.
