Altered Vintage Glass Bottles - Shells


Current completed work.  I love altering these tiny bottles.
 Upcycled vintage bottles from a yard sale, antiques shop and/or thrift shop.

Shells from the beach, lace, vintage images, glitter



Broken jewelry pieces (a pin), vintage book pages, So Sweet!!

Do you have a favorite art book you use for inspiration?  I'm always in search of mixed media, collage, altered art books that might be new to me.  

Do you have 1 or more that you love, used, or found very inspirational and want to recommend on one of your blog posts?  I'm planning a link party soon.  Let me know if you're interested.


 Until next time, have a wonderful day!

Nelly your bottles are beautiful! Shells are so popular right now. I don't do much in paper media, but I would love to. It would be great to find some vintage french book, that would be a dream. Thank you for stopping by and sharing in my publishing joy!

I would be interested in joining a link party. I happen to collect papercraft and scrapbooking type craft books so that would be right up my alley.

I wanted to visit your blog and introduce myself. My name is Sherry and I am a new Bloggerette Sorority Sister. I have only been blogging for a few weeks so I missed out on the rush, but I look forward to joining in on the fun in the future. I would be honored if you would visit my blog at http://scrappingwithsherry1.blogspot.com/ Thanks and I hope to see you soon!
