Too scared to show you my actual desk because I have made art on top of the mess that was there last week, just pushed it back a bit more so it piled up, toppled a bit, fell a bit so got pushed back a bit and so the story goes round again.
So I thought I would share three bottles that are at the moment in their virgin state but are as we speak being prepped ready for altering 'Evil Elixir' style with Sir Andy Skinner's online course
Andy suggests that we have a 'stunt double' ie a spare bottle to practice on
These are both my stunt doubles (or is one a treble?)
The actual bottle I want to work on proper, is this one, that my OH rescued from being thrown out at a local laboratory - some people with veru good memories my remember I made a Steampunk Father Christmas with a similar bottle a couple of christmas's ago when I was a guest designer for The Artistic Stamper
No idea as yet how this is going to turn out - I will give it some thought as I drive down the motorway this weekend on the way to see Mrs Bessie ....
Thanks for visiting my blog x
Yes, yes, yes....arty stuff is all very well....I want to know who owns the legs I can see dangling from the windowsill on the last photo.......;)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing the finished bottle!
Hope you have a great time away! Look forward to seeing the bottles transformed - any or all of them! helen #9
