a little time can be dangerous

I'm starting to get a little more adventurous. I decided to paint the lampshades on my kitchen chandelier. Then I added baubles. It still needed something so I cut up a Spanish dictionary and pasted it onto the paint and covered the whole shade with a gel medium. I like how it looks and it was loads of fun to do. Let's hope I didn't add anything flammable. Now, what else can I attack with a paintbrush?
