February - Mind Wide Open Entry

Each month http://www.mind-wideopen.blogspot.com/ has a project competition. The image posts on the 1st and everyone has until the 7th at midnight to send in a pic of their artwork. This months tag word was dream. I had loads of fun being artsy fartsy. I had this old bottle sitting in the craft room for awhile and I chose to decorate it. I filled the inside with metallic painted tissue paper, Paper shreds and twirls of all different textures, patterns and colors and of course sprinkled some glitter in. The outside was done and redone. I couldn't quite make up my mind on using the transluscent image that I first printed or a more opaque tattered one. Well, I went with the more opaque. I added some wire, beads and little ties of ribbon. I love my ribbon! I made little charms by printing the image and the words dream and believe on shrinky dink paper and attached them to the wire. A few butterflies, pearls and a little pink tulle then, I topped it off with a decorated star reading ' never bottle your dreams for they will become lost forever' and my master piece is complete. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do. Be sure to go onto http://www.mind-wideopen.blogspot.com/ to vote on your favorite entry before Feb. 14th.
Smooches, Amy
