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




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
