Designing DIVAS February Project

Debbie was our project hostess for February at Designing Divas and provided each of us a bottle to alter.  She knows I favor oriental so she brought some images of geishas for me to use on mine.  I painted the bottle first with gold but didn't like the effect so I stamped some paper with Chinese calligraphy and tore bits and pieces and attached them to the bottle.  I added my images and a few specks of the gold paint to soften the effect.  On one side of the bottle is a metal dragon to honor 2012 Year of the Dragon.  Everyone had fun with this project for a variety of finished bottles.


After I took the photo, I decided the umbrella needed to be level so the view from all angles would be pleasing to the eye.  Loved this project!  Thanks Debbie.
