Lace and Bottles

I had so much fun with my altered bottle, I made more, and did another lace design. It was a nice break after spending a good deal of the morning prepping furniture.



I used a cherub transfer on this bottle.  You can see my altered bottle w/Splendid Blender transfer tutorial here.





After I finished the bottles, I altered this piece.



The before.



I used a lace design, the same colors I used here, and spray painted vintage rings. These are the rings that were used for hanging pictures, mirrors, and plaques. Now they are drawer pulls.










Time to get some rest. Finishing up some of my furniture tomorrow.

    I just discovered your beautiful blog this morning! I love these! I just recently tried the blender pen technique on dishtowels.
    I was wondering if you might share where you found your cherub image? It is so sweet! :)
    Wishing you a happy one,

    I really like the little cabinet. This inspires me to work on one I have that is waiting for a makeover. Great idea on using the hangers for little pulls!
