Altered Bottle


I decided to make an altered bottle for this month's Creative Artiste's challenge using a maple syrup bottle I found in my recycling bucket.  

This month our sponsor is Foil Paper.  


It was fun making the altered bottle.  I painted my bottle first with Gesso and then with acrylic paint.  I then added some diamond stencils with modeling paste. Once the paint had dried I added a fabric applique, cheese cloth and some flowers .  I then added some Gesso to the flowers to give them some texture. The butterfly is a digital from Morgan Fitzsimons that I printed out on paper and coloured then printed it on mylar and layered them on my bottle. 

To complete the project I made a topper for the bottle and added some pearls. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  Pop over to the Creative Artiste Challenge blog to see the projects the design team have created to inspire you.  Hope you will join us this month.
