Fiskarettes UK Design Team Altered Bottle using In Bloom and Intricate Daisy Punch

Good Evening Everyone!

Today I can announce I have been asked back as a Fiskarette for a 4 month term and am sharing my Fiskarettes UK Design Team Altered Bottle which I made using punches for the flowers. This was an experimental piece which was so much fun to make!

I started with a mini wine bottle, washed and removed the label ready for decorating.

I painted the bottle in gesso, then used hot glue to attach a broken necklace, and covered in gesso again.

I punched out some flowers using the In Bloom Squeeze Punch and Intricate Daisy Punch, and used a ball tool to shape.

I used hot glue to attach and painted these in gesso to make them more substantial.

I then used Distress Stains to drip blue and green colour from the top of the bottle and used a pink Distress Spray Stain overtop.

Once dry I turned the bottle upside down and repeated the staining process. I did this a few times until I was happy with the colours and used a brush to add more colour to certain areas.
