This is no ordinary Bottle. Oh No!
It USED to be plain and ordinary. And Brown!
But thanks to the Corona Virus isolation and a determination to never suffer from boredom, I had an idea.
Why not attempt to transform an ordinary brown bottle into a piece de resistance? A touch of vintage perhaps?
Many hours later. VOILA!
Ok......so its not something I'd sell on Ebay, but I'll get better with practise.
The Process:
After wiping the bottle down with a little isopropyl alcohol to remove smudges and fingerprints etc, I gave it a couple of coats of black gesso to make the layers of embellishments and paint adhere well.
There are many items around the house that make ideal embellishments. Such as old lace, domes, etc and if you have thin chipboard craft shapes they can add another dimension too. I did use a little textured paste before painting the bottle to assist with the 3D look.
The photograph didn't show up the detail that well, but you get the idea. So, why not give it a go yourself? It's a lot of fun.
Of course, I needed to buy a big bunch of flowers to better present my 'work of art.' What a shame my huge bunch of flowers wouldn't fit into the small opening of my new bottle. (lol)
Never mind, a larger vase did a superb job of displaying them for me.
Here is a single flower standing tall in my home made vase.
Here is a photo of part of my lovely bouquet. Aren't they pretty?
THANK YOU FOR VIEWING. HAVE A GREAT DAY.

Happy Birthday, Sis :)
Thank you very much Bro. . How is your son getting on with the photography lessons? Is he as good as his dad yet? Lol.
Welcome :) I let my kids use my camera. They would try it. But kids nowadays. Just use smartphone. But Aaron, he's 15 yrs old , my youngest, has more spare time. I have a good chance to teach him. Specially now with this quarantine days. Maybe he can be more lucky and creative than me.
Aaron would have to be extremely talented to be as good as his Dad. a At least he has an accomplished photography teacher to call on 24/7 😄
This is so pretty! The beads, alone, that come down from the neck of the bottle are lovely and that lace at the bottom looks great! What a fantastic and creative job you did with this! Kudos! 😃
