First, I bought wanted to make a Vintage Book Mixed Media so I painted it gray and stamped it like I had seen on another site, But, the stamp did not work good! SO, I rubbed it off fast! So, now what to do? I had a book label I wanted to use so I inked it and added a scrap of Halloween fabric with some lace and a metal handle. So, here is my Halloween, "Sisterhood of the Crescent Moon" Book! I love it! This vintage book has printed pages so it is just a display book.
The second is using a label I love and I found a blue bottle to use. I can't drink wine with the RX I take but I recycle my glass and sometimes I take one with one I donate. I knew I wanted a blue background for the Laundry label I had.
I inked the label and it was on fabric as I originally intended to sew both labels onto cloth. Whatever!
I knew I would get a bubble so I had my husband roll it onto the blue bottle and then I added fibers, beads, charm, clothespin, a rusty bell, and a cut out scallop from another old vintage book with yellowed pages in Spanish even.
I started to cap the bottle but I need to learn to age my bottle caps so I used a found cork.
Does anyone have a good way to age metal objects? I know I will need to use this in other items I create?
Also, I have these in my ByLightOfMoon Etsy shop for Handmade's and more photos are on flickr with frstyfrolk, my name most used on the internet.
Smiles, Cyndi
