Heart - Altered Bottle


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. 



Thank you for stopping by and have a creative week. Remember to stop by Altered Eclectics to be inspired by the talented works of our design tea,

  1. 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]
