Illuminated Bottle - Kerstin Filou

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
