Dream. Create. Inspire.

Dream, Create, Inspire
It's been a while since i last posted, since then we've had three lots of chicken pox in the house, birthdays, school and preschool inductions and all manner of things in between.

This piece, like a lot of other things i seem to create, became a birthday present for a very special friend, who is a very talented musician and highly creative person. But it had the added complication that i couldn't just resort to my go-to flowers and butterflies because it need a much more masculine feel to it (although I'm sure there are guys out there who would be just as appreciative of those things).

I'm taking a lot of inspiration from Steampunk at the moment, loving the fantastical creations and free reign for the imagination, so with a little dose of that and some beautiful rust and gold colours this altered bottle was born.

Just some of the things used include Tim Holtz Idea-ology embellishments, Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays, Finnabair stamps and a selection of clock parts from Ebay.

I think it was well received and it was a pleasure to make.
