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
