First my wine boxes, and now my champagne tote.
I almost forgot to take a before of this tote, I was so anxious to get at it.
The tote got a base coat of black, and a wash of watered down white gesso, with lots of drips. I designed the champagne label with an old cherub image and the word "Champagne" in a script font.
I decoupaged the label to the tote, and let it dry. I then went over it with watered down black paint, and distressed it. A little sealer, and I'm done.
Wine, champagne.....No, I won't be doing beer. See ya soon.

I love the black and the washed over appearance. Very nice, as always!!
ReplyDeleteHow very clever Rosemary, I love your pretty labels. I don't think beer would have the same feel...I'd stick to wine and champagne too.
ReplyDeletelove this...I'm still in awe of your wine crafts, too.
ReplyDeleteI love wooden totes, and this one is a beauty! I'm relieved to know that you won't be "doing" beer!:)
ReplyDeleteThe tote transformation is so wonderful. As always gorgeous work.

Even if you don't drink, I love wine and champagne crates. They always have such lovely designs. Beatiful image too, Rosemary.

Somehow "beer" wouldn't get you the same effect... LOL! But who am I to say?! Job well done on the tote! Will that be heading to Kane County next month?
ReplyDeleteThat tote is fabulous Rosemary. I really have a thing for vintage totes. I haven't found any in my neck of the woods. The finish and label are so beautiful together.
