Altered Bottle

Picture
My free blog post for this month is another Altered Bottle.
Creating Altered bottles are just so much fun its hard to stop at one.
​
Picture
I started by covering the bottle with Modelling Paste. first with a brush then i used a pallet knife to splat the bottle giving it fabulous raised texture. Once dry i painted it with dylusions paint (funky fuchsia). I added little bit of white gesso to some paint to create a lighter pink.. I then dry brushed the lighter pink over the top.
Picture
I then decided to go in a vintage direction with the bottle. I thought i had taken progress shots but i couldn't find them sorry. I started by using modelling paste to hold some fantastic crochet material to the bottle. I painted over the material with white gesso as well as the bottle to give it an aged vintage pink look. I then used modelling paste to attach little birdie flowers, buttons, a diamond wooden cut out and a long string of curtain beads.

I then used a pallet knife and modelling paste in a silicone mould to make something different to add to the top of the bottle. Once dry it can still be moulded and cut easily.

At this stage i changed my mind on the vintage feel and used Lindy's sprays 
(Autumn Maple Crimson,Hi Maintenance Magenta and yellow rose of Texas)
to colour the whole bottle top to bottom. I started at the top with the Magenta, working with the Crimson in the middle and the yellow at the bottom.
​I used a little Magenta but mainly yellow on the flowers.
Picture
I added some old jewellery to the bottle. I painted them with Tim holtz Distress paint (antiqued bronze)around the outside and finnabair wax (electric violet) in the middle. I instantly fell inlove with the colour of the wax i decided to use it on the buttons as well.
I also painted the middle of the flower in the above picture with the distress paint.
Picture
I then added some unpainted bead string around and through the flowers. I also found this really cute old gold gecko at a second hand store and had to add him to the bottle. I also added some bling with flat back diamantes in clear and pink.
Picture
I used Tim Holtz bronze paint to paint the beaded string i attached to the bottle in previous steps. The photo doesn't really show up the pink of the diamantes.

I hope you liked my blog. I must apologise for my lack of progress shots.
I really enjoy using the lindy's sprays as they are so versatile and can used in so many different ways.

    About Me

    Hellooooo Everyone...
    My name is Amanda Mason.
    I am a Mixed Media Artist, Instructor and Product Educator....
    I was bought up as a farm girl in rural NSW, but now live in a small coastal village called Cooloola Cove in QLD. I have always been a creative person and have a Diploma of Multimedia and Graphic Design. I have wanted to blend that with Mixed Media, which I have been doing since about 2015...I love to use dimension, texture and layers of elements to make my creations, it’s all about experimenting and exploring with products and what
    they can do.....
    I hope you enjoy following me on my creative journey.....
