Welcome to my crafting blog. After retirement, my husband and I moved to a beautiful location in the Okanagan area of British Columbia. I love all paper crafts including mixed media, journaling and cards. I also dabble in papermaking, photography, fibre art, and altered books. I am an active member of several card and mixed media groups and on the design team of several challenge blog. I love the world of blogging, it has opened many doors for me. My favourite quote is by Maya Angelou. “You can’t use up creativity. The more you use, the more you have.” I hope you join me in my search for my creative side. Thanks for stopping by!

Rhedd's Creative Spirit - Altered Bottle



Time for another Mixed Media - Altered Art challenge at Rhedd's Creative Spirit.  I decided alter a beautiful bottle I found at a thrift store. 

This is the bottle I altered.

To altered my bottle I used chalk paint and gesso on my first layers then added my pearls, gems butterflies, and findings.  I rubbed my bottle with several different colours of Inka Gold for shine.
