Good morning all.
An upcycled bottle to share with you today...no before photos but this started life as a humble chutney jar.
I was inspired by Annecke's tutorial at Paper Artsy and when this jar came out of the dishwasher I knew I wanted to use it. I will have to make a few more curry's now to get the next jar emptied!
After cleaning and drying the jar I give it a couple of coats of Hint of Mint Fresco Finish acrylic paint using a foam applicator. Once dry I added a couple of coats of translucent Beach Hut Fresco Finish just dabbing it on with the foam applicator. The front decoration was made some time ago and I hadn't worked out how to use it. It is a piece of acrylic which I stamped with JM09 and heat embossed with black detail EP. I then added red stickles to the reverse and painted it with acrylic paint, this was attached with gel medium. I sanded the edges of the jar and rubbed some pearl metallic guilding wax over them in both teal and pearl. Red paper twine was wrapped around the neck to finish.

This is so pretty. I love the colours and the fronts section you added.
ReplyDeleteOnce my newly planted perennial bed starts to bloom, I thought i would start participating in a weekly blog that features a bouquet of what is blooming in your garden,
As I have such a small garden., I will have to feature my bouquets in very small mouthed vases. This would be a great idea for that!
Fantastic project Carol, who would have guessed it started life as a humble chutney jar!
