Bottles to the Max

Starring in the month of May, from our design team, is Marleen van Meerendonk. I met Marleen last year when I went to the cool little town of Ede in the Netherlands, at the coolest shop owned by Lia Sauer...De Craftorij. Marleen is a very talented mixed media artist and I was so glad she applied for our design team.

Today I’m showing a possibility to paint the VerDay-paints on glass.

The photo-video shows you how simple it works to alter a bottle. I hope it inspires you for using the Verday-paints on glass. In the video is also a technique to make a heart of copper metal.

Other materials:

Steampunk paper from Graphic45.

Metal embellishments from Tim Holtz, 7 Gypsies and Prima Marketing.

 

 

Hope you all like it,

Hugs Marleen van Meerendonk

Thank you for some terrific ideas. I just love how you did this bottle !! I make the "Bottles of Hope" for cancer survivors. They're covered with polymer clay and I've been trying to incorporate bits of the metal on them. You've got my mind working overtime now. My dad was born in Kollum in the Netherlands and my sister and I went there a few years ago and saw the house where he spent the first few years of his life. That was such an amazing trip.
