The cool thing about this bottle is that it already came with a crown lid, and gold too. So, of course, it had to be Tim Holtz inspired with chains and manly embellishments.
The bottle was prepared...after drinking the contents, with a coat of Seal Glue. Then after it dried, it got a good thick coat of crackle paint, different color on the reverse. I stamped the lion using archival ink onto tissue paper and glued that onto the bottle. The wings are made of grunge paper, inked and stamped and embellished with a set of metal wings I got from Walmart. I still think there's more I can cram on here, but nothing in my stash worked. So this will likely be altered some more.
This is metal heart is from a necklace I got from Dollarama. The velvet neck piece had broken off, but I kept the charm. I also stamped it with the same written stamp and used some gold alcohol inks on it and the black pearl above it. The little charm on the end of the chain is actually a little wee botton. Lastly I glued a paper clip, also Alcohol Inked in gold to tone down the already black and white clip. A tag just for fun.
