I created this soldered bottle a while ago but I had reached a point where I could no longer continue.I couldn’t figure out what was missing from it,so ultimately, I put it aside and moved on to a different project.
Some time later as I was playing with my Paper Whimsy goodies,the idea of creating a hanging banner out of the smaller elements came to mind. My original plan,was to use the mini banner on a canvas or assemblage(which I still think is a great idea)…but as I created them,the bottles came to mind and I knew that they were exactly what the piece was missing.
I first covered the hearts in gesso.
Next I painted the hearts,then using a dry brush I added some Gesso.
Glue the hearts to 18 gauge black steel wire. Add some curley cues to the wire.
Add rub-ons and glitter.
And for added texture,I wrapped 26 gauge wire with seed beads around the larger wire. Lastly,I wraped the ends of the wire around the bottle and looped the ends.
….and there you go….exactly what the doctor ordered for this soldered bottle!
Naturally…I had to make another one!
I’m thinking you can make this with any of the small Alterables….and even with the larger ones.I would just use a stronger adhesive on the larger ones.
Happy Creating!
