Took 5 Years!!!

Firstly, I must thank you all for your kind messages,

on my last post here and on my Face Book page. 

Also to welcome Debbie, a new follower and hope you 

like what you see!!

Yes, the title 'Took 5 Years' is correct!!

I started making this wine bottle just over 5 years ago!

I originally covered it with plaster of paris and painted it with 

duck egg blue paint. I then added some embellishments

I covered it with Gesso and job done. 

The problem was, I didn't like it! 

So it sat on my desk for 5 years. I even moved house 4 years ago

and it still sat on my desk!

Until last Saturday!! 

I wanted to do something messy, so picked up the bottle and made 

a start on it. Stripping off all the embellishments.

I made the flowers with clay and sprayed them with 

some bottles of Tattered Angels, a mica and a mix of colours.

I also sprayed the bottle with some of the colours.

I then used on everything, some Cosmic Shimmer Opal Polish and  

Metallic Gilding Polish, which I used my fingers to spread it where I 

wanted it. Very messy but great fun.

The colours are much nicer in real life and the Mica

is gorgeous. 

I am quite pleased with it now!! Lol!!

It's just like the world has been tipped upside down, with 

the Coronavirus and to me it feels surreal. 

I just wished that I could wake up in the 

morning, to find it was just a bad dream!!

At least, here in Suffolk, the sun has been shining for a 

couple of days and the spring flowers are so pretty.

Please stay at home if you can and stay safe. 

We have cancelled our holiday and I am thinking

of cancelling a scan, that I am booked to have on Good Friday.

Big hugs,

Carol
