Embrace Serendipity

I hate throwing Amaretto Disaronno bottles away.  They are so beautiful.  I experimented with glass paints and acrylics but couldn’t get the effect I wanted.  Air dry clay was perfect but it didn’t adhere to the glass easily.  

So I resorted to my papier-mâché technique.  I first painted a mixture of white glue and water (half and half) all over the bottle.  Then I applied two layers of paper handkerchiefs. Whilst still damp the cut out shapes of airdry clay were pressed into place.  
After drying the whole bottle was painted in black .  

Once dry I lightly brushed a little gold paint over the raised areas.  
Serendipity?   Look at the texture?  

As the bottle dried the paper handkerchiefs wrinkled giving this lovely but unexpected effect.

Upcycled glass jar with removable lid. Now made into a pottery little house using airdry clay.

I used an empty jar of peaches to make  this little pottery hiuse. I use one in the kitchen as a container for sugar.  Another decorates a table in the garden.  #garden-decor #kitchendecor # jumblehouse #umbria #rustic-gardens #decorativebottles
