Actually, I found these colours a challenge to work with, but it is meant to be a challenge, so I had a go, and as usual, I had more ideas than time, but I did come up with some results which I am very happy with :)
For some time now, I've had an idea about recycling a small nicely-shaped glass bottle (previously containing soy sauce) ...
And now ...
A close-up ...
I didn't take lots of "making" photos, I was so pleased with how it came together, I totally forgot :)
But here is some of what I used: gesso, cream acrylic paint, Glimmermist and Adirondack misting sprays, butterflies were stamped with Stazon on acetate coloured with alcohol inks, flowers were also "misted" and the tiny, finely detailed leaves are from
Rubber Dance Art Stamps.
I will hurry over now and enter this at the Monthly Colour Challenge at Rubber Dance.
I have just discovered Beyond Grey Challenges #66 Mixed Media, so I might enter this here also :)
I might also enter this over at The Mirror Crack'd where the theme this month is "wings".
And over at Mixed Media World their challenge is for anything mixed media, so I guess my little bottle could be entered there also :)
Beautiful creation!! Thanks for playing along at our *Rubber Dance Stamps* challenge ♥
ReplyDeleteI love your altered bottle! So funny, we're just about to using up the last drops of our very same Kikkoman soya bottle, and now I know NOT to trash it when it's empty! :-) You have used our challenge colour scheme so beautifully, it's impossible to see that these colours were a challenge for you to work with. Well done! Thank you so much for entering! ♥
ReplyDeleteBrillant idea! Wonderful project!
ReplyDeleteAwesome!!! Thanks for joining us over at Rubber Dance Art Stamps this month!

Another gorgeous creation. Thanks for sharing with us again.
ReplyDeleteI love how you altered your bottle, it would have been a shame to recycle such a pretty shape into the glass bin!

wow! Your altered bottle looks so beautufully!
ReplyDeleteThank you for playing along at BGC!
Ah wonderful job, Ros, you are more game than I am at such things... Steer clear of it.. Mind you do have some glass paints in tubes which bought super uber cheap whe. Had to decorate a coke bottle as a rocket, it actually was okay, and keep meaning to use them on my fading stained glass circles fromUK on my glass doors, one day. :)
