Hello, creative friends!
I was so inspired from Claudia's romantic project 'Be still and listen', where she created a little, forgotten garden arbour, that I thought on mystical forest stories with a door to another world.
I created an illuminated mixed media bottle in shabby chic style with some natural structures.
I love it to use only a few colours and let
textures and patterns speak for themselves.
Tips & Tricks
The
Russian Revival Style Window
is simply beautiful, but I prefer to look at it as a door with more liveliness.
I used a silicone mould (Katy Sue design) with air hardening modelling clay, but I did only the outer frame from the mould.
That cast was glued to the MDF shape with construction adhesive.
As some of you may already know, I have a passion for shelves ;)
Here I created a shelf with the
Trefoil Border Shape - MDF Mixed Media Board
I simply sawed it apart in the middle and used one part of it as a support and the other as a support surface. With construction adhesive and a little patience it hardens and then holds well onto the glass bottle.
