ColourArte Monthly Challenge #1

Welcome everyone 

Here is my submission to

ColourArte's Monthly Challenge #1

ALTERED TEA BOTTLE

 I applied white gesso on an empty tea bottle

With matte medium gel I applied a piece of mesh net and sea shells

I then again applied more white gesso

I used  Colour Arte Silks 

Sapphire on Ice, Sunflower and Plumeria 

and blended some gesso as well to give it more dimension.and highlights

For my first layered little ship die I used Colour Arte Twinkling H2Os 

Pearl Blue, Pearl red and Pearl gold

and dabbed a little the same silks on the

 second layer of my ship and added dimension with form squares

   

I applied coarse texture gel. 

It has a grain sand like texture which was perfect for this project

 

I embedded loose pearls, sequins and sea bead which the medium was still wet

Leslierahye's Very Fall Steampunk Blog Hop - September 22, 2014

Welcome to

I thank Leslierahye for inviting me to blog hop with her.

I always have fun.

Something made me go through my blog journal and

see my view of last fall.

It's hear and I wasn't readyyyyyy! lol

Summer has truly slipped through my hands.

Alas it's hear and I will enjoy the

light autumn weather and watch the leaves turn.... 

As I was creating these pieces

I listened to one of my favorite artist

Esperanza Spalding
