Altered Bottle

I'm playing with some of my vintage bottles.



I added a little extra age to 1800's ledger page fragments with my own antiquing solution, and decoupaged it.  This is the back.




I used one of my rusty metal crowns on top.  It fits snugly, but, I didn't attach it permanently. It's more of a decorative adornment.







We are getting hit with MORE snow.





I'm just gonna hibernate, and, create.




See ya soon.

    Love the altered bottle. I do not know if I could part with my vintage ledger pages. I always have to find a project worthy of them. The crown is the perfect touch!

    It looks great, Rosemary! I love it with the crown and that it is not permanent.

    I love the bottle--the crown looks so good on it. Hibernate and create sounds like such a plan--my problem is I have been doing more hibernating than creating! Love my most recent angel with the little crown I got from you :)

    That ledger page really works well as a bottle label! The snow has been falling steadily here for hours. Looks like another snow day for sure.

    So pretty Rosemary and I love that little crown. I wish I could be creative right now. I miss it so much and it would take my mind off this horrible weather.

    I really like the bottle, especially with the unattached pretty crown. But then what do you alter that I don't like?!
    Always an inspiring visit to your blog.
    We too had snow last night. Seems like a daily event.

    What a beautiful and unique looking bottle you created! Sorry to hear that the snow isn't letting up in your area. I couldn't believe it when I read on someone's blog in Texas that their temp was 81 degrees! Gasp!! We're enjoying a nice warmp up here in GA, but not that warm.

    Did you learn how to make these in the Farrogoz course? Or are you just now taking that course? I am considering enrolling. Do you have any comments or suggestions about that course?
