I'm joining in with Paint Party Friday

Decorated Jar and Bottle

Continuing from yesterday - we stayed overnight at one of our friends and the next morning we had a workshop decorating bottles. The little jar above was clear but I sprayed it with glass frosting after sticking stars to it. After it was dry I removed the stars and put in the lovely feathers and tied string around the neck.

I sprayed light frosting on the top 3/4 of the jar. After drying I stuck on paper circles [snow] which was waste from a circle punch. Our friend provided us with print outs to cut out but as I'm not very neat with cutting by hand, I cut mine out using my Zing Air. I put a few epson salts in the bottom of the bottle and a battery t-light candle. There is an excellent tutorial and scene printout for the candle jars at Shabby Art Boutique.

One Glass or Two?

Created on a Samsung Galaxy Note with sketchbook pro. The background is a paler version of one of my fabric designs.

Liberty Bottle and Embroidery

For the Three Muses challenge - Bottles or Jars

The background is a drawing and the bottle is a photo of an old vinegar bottle, the label was from Graphics Fairy. The Statue of Liberty photo I altered, I've had the original photo for years and I can't remember where I got it from.

I got the embroidery below from my loft when I was clearing out, a sample from when I did my City & Guilds. It is stitched on fabric and stitched around a CD. What may look like shisha glass is actually the CD where I have cut holes in the fabric. It is just one CD enclosed in the fabric.
