This altered bottle is my project as DT at Altered Eclectics this month.
This is what my bottle looked like before I altered it.
I used a combination of gesso, a couple of colours of acrylic paints and the base of the bottle . I used Deco Arts Metallic Luster (Orange Flicker) and Inka Gold (Green Yellow) to give the bottle shine and to accent the leaf and heart design on the bottle. I added some lace for texture. The large metal heart is a belt buckle that I coloured with paint and a gold leafing pen. I glued the metal heart on to the bottle with E6000.
This is the buckle close up.
This is the back of the bottle. It used a couple of wooden hearts for the back of the bottle.

Fabulous creation. It reminds me of a beautiful bottle that a genie would come out of. We had a program here in the states called "I Dream Of Jeannie" and the bottle she came out of was enchanting. [Bunny]
