Altered Bottle


This bottle’s overall dimensions are 7 ½” x 3”.  I used decorative beads for the feet.  The gold on the top, neck and bottom of the bottle are metallic stickers.  They come in all sorts of designs and sizes. I purchase mine at Frantic Stamper.  The bottle is wrapped in beaded and fabric flowers and leaves.  The neck of the bottle is wrapped in beaded flowers.  The stopper is a picture frame.  I painted the brass dragonflies (purchased at Alpha Stamps) on the front with metallic paints and added Swarovski crystals for the eyes.  I used Glossy Accents to attach all of the elements.
I have several more bottles siting on my worktable so stay tuned for more.
