Potion bottles aka Altered bottles...

I finished these altered bottles the other day. The last batch were mostly done with polymer clay and these were done with papers, fabrics, beads etc.

The tiny face on the foremost bottle is a milagro

Same bottles, different angle. The leaf is a bead!

 The large bottle was done using a texture paste and was started a very long time ago. I saw an artist  do something identical to this over on youtube, but mine is painted differently. I painted her with a vareity of inks.

I gave the small bottle small loops so they can be worn around the neck, or carried by a tiny person.

Prayer Flags

Working on a collection of prayer flags. I made tons of these a few years back with my clients.. very nice. You put your positive thoughts and feelings into these flags and hang them outside.. allowing the wind to take those good thoughts out into the universe to manifest. Its like gardening.

This first one is made from ribbons. I don't know why it would suddenly not hang straight! This particular flag idea came from something I saw on pinterest.

This second flag is made from muslin. The strips are also muslin ribbons that I made.
