Making Magic at Anything But Cute





Hello all!  I'm very excited today to be able to invite you over to Anything But Cute to see my Guest Designer project for them.

I was delighted when Pamellia contacted me, but also a little daunted as the team there create such amazing work.  It was up to me to choose what to create, but I couldn't resist the beautiful moodboard for the Making Magic theme this month, and so that's what inspired my altered bottles.

 They became green and gilded magic potion bottles... 

 I'm only sharing a quick look here at Words and Pictures today, so f you'd like to see how they came to life, please hop over to Anything But Cute for the full details.  And I hope they might inspire you to play along there this month if you haven't already.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I've got some more exciting guest duties to share with you tomorrow, so I hope you'll be back soon!

The world is full of magic things, patiently waiting for our senses to grow sharper.
W.B. Yeats

In a bit of serendipitous timing, I'd like to offer these up at Frilly and Funkie with A Touch of Gold.

    Brilliant bottle alteration! LOVE LOVE LOVE that gold! Excellent texture too! You probably don't want to put flowers in them, but I think they would transform a dinner table to the moon with gorgeous white or yellow blooms in them!
