The Fun in Art is Playing!

The fun part of creating is playing and experimenting! Sometimes it is a complete flop (okay....many times!), and other times, it is a stroke of genius! I have been playing with alterables and even dabbling in a bit of photography. I am not great, but the fun is in the learning!

My project today is another glass bottle similar to the one I posted the other day. I changed up the colors a bit and used the Vintage Labels set by Crafty Secrets for the little tag. I added some flowers that were created using a Sizzix flower die. I added green stamens I purchased off of Etsy.
I mentioned the other day, when using alcohol inks, that I used two different colors. Here I used purple and a bit of silver. After it dries, which is pretty darn quick, I rubbed a bit of glossy accents over the bottle and sprinkled clear coarse glitter over it.

The leaf was cut using my Cricut and Mother's Day Bouquet Cartridge.

Someone recently asked if the ink washes off, and the answer is no. It is permanent, at least with soap and water. You can fill the inside of the jar with candies, embellishments, etc. The sky's the limit! : )

I am working on a Valentine's jar right now and will post soon!

I found this interesting technique on Pinterest called Bokeh. I decided to experiment a bit with it. As I said before, I am not great at it. I don't even think I am good.....but it was fun to play! Here is my feeble attempt at using the Bokeh effect with my camera.

And one last picture before I take my lil' family to see the Muppets movie.......Brian and I on New Year's Eve......... : )

Have a great day! Thank you so much for stopping by! It means the world to me...... : )
