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.

Thanks so much Alison!!
DeleteOh wow... I am completely in love with this.
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Louise!!
DeleteThis is absolutely gorgeous ❤❤❤❤
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this awesome bottle do over to the Winter magical scenery using special materials. I could have sworn you had a piece of a torn up blue jeans material on the bottle. One could probably use blue jeans to make this (if they tried extremely hard). I know it would not appear as beautiful as yours - but one could try to get to your level of creativity. You rock. Thanks for sharing everything you used to make this beautiful piece of a winter scene.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Cynthia, it makes me happy to read your kindly words. Blue Jeans what a cool idea, have not worked with fabric on glass yet, sounds exciting.
