Hey SteemFam!
This is a set I made out of some bottles that previously contained an antiseptic liquid... LOL.
The first though that popped into my mind was that I wanted to create a cloudy or misty kinda look.
I'm really happy with how it turned out.
The Main Attraction...
Getting the combinations right took longer than I had anticipated. I started out by dabbing the blue acrylic paint onto the bottle with a sponge. The sponge added a nice texture and a porous look to the paint.
Over the blue paint, I dabbed on some light blues and some whites. After some more thought, I dabbed on a touch of metallic silver piant... for that "silver lining" look- LOL.
One Down... Two to Go. . .
I had finished with the main piece and was now stuck with the little ones. I pondered for a long time about how I was going to paint them. I had a picture in my head as to what I wanted them to look like, but I had a terrible feeling that it was not going to end well.
I gave it a shot any way. I took a generous amount of blue paint, and pressed the brush against the bottle in order to make the paint flow down the surface of the bottle. Then I did the same with the white paint. After the paint was dry, I took a sponge and dabbed on some metallic silver paint on the lower portion of the bottles.
Once all the bottles were nice and dry, I painted on some varnish to seal the paint.
I Need to Put Some Bling on This Thing!
On one of my trips to the local tailor's heaven, I found some interesting beads that I thought would really make the piece more appealing.
Earlier, I had ordered some metallic beads from ItsyBitsy.in with no real clue as to what I was gonna do with it.
I guess inspiration hits you when you least expect it 🙂
Da Ta Da Daaaaaaa...
All my hard work finally gave birth to this cute little set that I am still unable to sell... LOL. I still have hope that it will find its home some day 🙂
Thank you for reading 🙂
