Altered Art Bottle - Winter Magic by Kerstin

 

 Welcome, creative friends!

 

I was inspired to create another glass bottle in Altered Art style

suitable for the magic of Christmas time.

 

Tips & Tricks

 

 

Firstly I covered the whole bottle with Weathered Wood, a crackle medium from DecoArt,then, after a drying time, I painted that with Chalky Finish 'Serene'. 

The middle section was painted with diluted paint for better visibility of the door windows. 

 

I love to decorate the flat MDF shapes with 3D effects using a silicone cake mould ('Gothic window')

and air drying clay (only the outer frame of the mould was used in this case).

One of the

Sheet of Mini MDF Street Lamps 

was perfect for a hanging lantern above the window!

To have it well fixed, it was pressed into the not yet completely dried clay

 and additionally fixed with construction adhesive - this glue fixes the MDF shapes

 very well on glass, but you should note that it has to dry overnight for a stable hold.

 

Below the window I glued a

Rectangle Shape

 in small size as a terrace, which gets additional hold through the swirls of the

Winter Trees & Snow Swirls.
