The altered bottle is now finished
and transmogrified into a diva
before my very eyes!
For close up views, you can click on any of the images.
The old postage stamp with the bee on it was a great find
and so fitting for a queen bee type of diva!
I knitted this lace doily for a spring candle mat swap.
For the candles, I used napkin art
and burned the daffodil image from a paper napkin
into the candles with a heat gun.
Much like the 'What-not's' of Victorian times. I like it a lot.
ReplyDeleteAs for the What-nots: A broken tea pot glued back together and covered in buttons keys and other small oddments, the lid also glued down and covered. Most were painted over in gold paint. (but I like your version better in this.)
At times they were filled with sand and used as a door stop.
We would spend hours looking at the bits and bobs as children. Those were times before video games and not every household even had a TV.
Thank you for the memories.
Hugs, Euphoria
