Tutorial Sea Decorated Bottle - DT Dusty Attic

Hi creative friends!

 I was inspired to create another illuminated 

glass bottle in altered art.

 

 

 

Tutorial

1 choose some chipboards I used a border and a flourish element

  glue a piece of cheesecloth and the chipboards with construction

  adhesive on the glass bottle

2 create a pillar gate and a little mermaid with airdrying modeling 

   clay and silicone cake moulds,

2a I love to use some leftovers from the chipboards (here the

     bottom conclusion)

     borders are used on the sides

3  glued the gate and also added some shells and two pieces of driftwood as entrance steps

         afterwards the bottle was completely covered with crackle medium 'Weathered wood' (DecoArt)

4 after drying covered with a chalky finish paint for glass 'Relic' (DecoArt)

let it dry for a few hours

5 now two wax cremes 'Lavish Green' and 'Brilliant Turquoise'

 6   dry brush technique with white gesso to lighten the dark colour

finally added the little mermaid  

 some close up's

 

 chipboards can be bent around the bottle very well 

after a light moistening with water

here can you see the used leftovers as sea waves 

on the bottle sides
