I've always enjoyed playing with the Hot Picks glass bottle images, as well as trying to create a glassy effect with the Lynne Perrella stained glass stamps, so you can imagine my delight when Calico Craft Parts came up with a whole sheet of tiny Apothecary Bottles in their line of Mini Wood Shapes. Here's a sneak peek of what I created using them...
If you'd like to see more, do hop over to the Calico Craft Parts Blog and see how I set about trying to give the wood shapes a touch of glossy glassiness! And it's all on one small ATC.
It's a bit busy here at the moment, but I will be picking a Candy Winner soon. In the meantime I hope you all have a wonderful week and I'll see you out there in Craftyblogland.
The sign outside the shop said Apothecary, which meant that the shop was owned by a sort of early chemist, who would give you herbs and things until you got better or at least stopped getting any worse.

Crackle looks very cool! Off for a closer look and waving hi from the other end of the world....
Fab bottle art. :-) xxx
I love the contrast of the (fabulous) crackle on the background and the high shine of your apothecary bottles. I'd call that a happy accident. Lx
Hmm I wonder if the new 24th scale Tudor house should be an apothecary's shop? Are they small enough?
Excellent work :-)

Alison, once again you have knocked it out if the park! Love the beautifully crackled background! Those apothecary Bottkes with their deep jewel tones and glossy finish look awesome against the crackle. You do Paper Artsy proud!
