The Golden Artichoke

I had what I'm going to call a stroke of brilliance a few days ago: fake artichoke + gold spray paint. I don't know why.

 Who can explain the elusive nature of genius?

I haven't decided where to put this one yet, but I have decided that I will be painting more of them. I think I'll fill one of my footed hurricanes with a bunch of them. I think it was a Rustoleum paint and it has a reflective gold lid. The paint has so much shine to it, it really looks metallic. I'm looking forward to trying the silver.

Also gratifying was doing my paint work directly on the floor of Todd's office (it's crappy linoleum and now there's a big gold spot on it, which will live on for eternity.)
