very nice.. bought that mirror myself, intending to do the same thing.. that was about a year ago. lol.

nice to know simple skewers would look so cool.

wonder if it would make sense to paint the skewers before sticking them on.

would like to use the gold spray paint you used..but gold against a silver mirror.. wonder what that would look like
