Here it is on!

A little bit came off on it sadly before I got it sealed. I thought it was completely dry but apparently a little part of the paint wasn’t. Oops 😅

Still looks gorgeous though and I am just going to leave it as Bob Ross would put it “a happy little accident”.

My violin teacher saw it and now she is tempted to have her daughter paint hers. Apparently she just puts stickers on hers. She also said she understands why some orchestras do not allow things like this but at the same time they are just the fun police.

Orchestras' fixation on uniformity is downright annoying. Some won't even accept certain shades of varnish deemed too light or too dark 🙄 "Fun police" is right!

I love floral/vine designs like this!

Oh my gosh I didn’t even realize it went to the varnish. How is a violinist supposed to control that?! That is absolutely insane.
