It's a Dressed Up Bottle

Hello and Welcome. It's time for our 

New Challenge at Creative Artiste Mixed Media

It's always Anything Goes so anything is possible

as long as we use multiple mediums in our project.

I have wanted to try decorating a bottle and

so this month it happened. 

I didn't want to go too big to start so

 played around with an empty beer bottle.
I have photographed it on top of a patchwork piece
my sister made for me.
It was only after I finished it I realized I had made my bottle
in the colours of her kitchen so will give it to her
when I visit her later in the month.
***
First job was to gesso it

then some stenciling from Stamperia

I didn't like the one on the right so
made another one using Tim Holtz Grit Paste

then painted it up with Art Alchemy Acrylic Paints in
Metallic Lime Green/Gold Rush/Fresh Orange

adding some coloured cheesecloth
and unfortunately a few of the photos
of the added flowers weren't very good.
Continued on after arranging them with sea shells
 and a few punched ferns
and Cosmic Shimmer gilding flakes in Autumn Leaves.
Tied some cotton around the neck of the bottle
and glued it down towards the flowers.
Randomly added some Art Alchemy Wax to the sea shells.
Here's a few close up photos of the finished bottle.

Pop over and see what my Team Mates created this month as
