Antique Bottle

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hi All this is my first attempt at doing a bottle...

 

so for you that are so very talented... please be bear with me!

 

This is how I started.

I got an olive oil bottle washed it well and removed the label.

I used masking tape around the neck of the bottle first,

then did a thin layer of gesso first and repeated. Once both layers were dry I applied two layers of cream.

I used burnt amber and watered if down and used a tooth brush and flicked it all over the bottle.

then let it dry.

 

 

whilst drying I cut out from my collage sheet and serviette the pieces I wanted.

I mod podged it done and then used bark brown ink and rubbed the edgings of the

bottle and blended the images once they had been added.

I then took off the masking tape and add my twine.

 I finally added a butterfly and a key with my two cogs.

I glued down my key so it doesn't swing every time I pick up the bottle.

 

 

hope you enjoyed my bottle as much as I enjoyed making it

 

Happy scrapping
