Recycled Peacock bottle and gift box set

Dear friends

am back after a long time,a quick post to share another painted bottle with all of you....

Decoupage and glass colors

I have used Glass colors and decoupage on the bottle. The peacock design is on both sides of the bottle. I have used water based glass colors by Hobby ideas in  blue and green on the bottle and a teeny- tiny bit of glitter around the decoupaged image. Used two coats of varnish to seal the colors and the image. The gorgeous papers are from Mesmerising India collection by Divya Thallap available with Craftslane. The bottle is a recycled liquor bottle and the box a coffee mug pack. The box is also decoupaged using same collection and I have distressed the edges by using metallic acrylic colors in metallic blue/green shades.

The top of the box and two sides have been stencilled using homemade texture paste and fancy Feathers stencil and then painted in blue/ green and a little bit of gold dust powder. This is how it looks with the lights  ...................

Glass Bottle and Decoupage magic

Hi friends

worked with some bottle art again, some beautiful paper designed by Divya Thallap and glass and acrylic colors. Here are some pics of the process....... the image is embossed lightly and gold acrylic brushed slightly on the raised portion followed by some Shilpakar M-seal ( epoxy sealant) work on the bottle.

Started with this Old Monk bottle

Upcycled bottle with the image embossed, decoupaged and M Seal work in place. 

Adding color , using glass and acrylic colors........

The old Monk bottle has a design on the bottle which is great for glass colors as it holds color in the grooves and one can work fast.You can use any other bottle too which has texture and design. Used gold acrylic paint to highlight the design and applied shades of blue, green, yellow randomly. Two coats of varnish and...........

I like the artsy/ truck art kind of feel in this creation, the colors are vibrant and can uplift any space this is kept in. I have created this especially for Catchy challenges Bingo challenge . I am using Natural Twine + Mirrors + Glass Bottles. Hope you like this..................
