As we said in the previous post, air dry clay offers inumerous possibilities. In our every day lives, we always have things that there is no need to discard and can be upcycled into decorative or usable items. I have had a glass bottle thoroughly cleaned and labels removed. I decided to alter it using air dry clay.
It was a project that took me not that much of a time. I wanted to give the impression of rust to the bottle, and I used blue, brown, copper and black acrylic colours. Of course, layers of varnish to seal the colours and the clay.
I used silicon molds, and molds I have created my self, by using household items pressed into clay, then clay dried and was varnished. It is not as easy to remove clay from a clay mold as it is when you use a silicon mold, though it works. And there I had even more options to decorate my bottłe.
I had also dried flowers from my flower garden, and I had created some ribbon flowers, out of spare ribbon and thread attached to dried branches. A really storytelling bottle was the result. Enjoy!
With lots of love,
