    Jessica--          Sounds like an interesting project. If you want
    to distort your mirror, not just desilver parts of it-- there are
    acrylic mirrors out there (I have one for at art fairs--unbreakable)
    and I bet that, with a bit of experimentatrion, you could heat them
    to a point that allowed manipulation of the shape. My only other
    idea is that if you have any clear material that is, or could be
    formed to the shape you want, you could probably turn ir into a
    mirror by using mylar sheet, which you could buy from a plastic
    company--or cannibalize from a helium balloon--and gluing it on.
    Attaching it without clouding it would be the tough part, but an art
    store might have a totally clear spray-on adhesive. One more
    idea--make your mirror from dilver, with a really perfect polish,
    distort it, maybe protect it with glass. Flat glass with a distorted
    image might really enhance the effect.      Just brainstorming!
