Calico Craft Parts: Sea Adventures - Altered Bottle by Kerstin

I was inspired to create a glass bottle in altered art.

I simply love to work

with moulds and modelling clay

and an Under the Sea theme is always one of my favourites.

An upcyling idea, I used a liquor bottle as base

and modeled with silicone moulds and theme suitable MDF shapes.

some outcast's made with silicone moulds and airdrying clay

glued as frame with assembly adhesives

supplemented with MDF shapes

and gauze

ship lantern was pressed into the still wet modelling clay with a piece of wire,

it can move freely,

a perfect rocking element in heavy seas :-)

after the drying process everything was painted over with black gesso,

only for the middle part I used grey chalky paint

coloured with green gold metallic wax and white acrylic paint

+ Art stones in various sizes

highlighted with golden metallic wax
