About #18 - Ginie in a Bottle

Hey SteemFam!

For anyone wondering about the watermark: I have put them to make sure that they remain mine 😛 I have decided to upload them with a watermark that mentions the name of my Facebook page. You can check it out for more info and photos. You can also check out my Instagram @andicraftz.

I just did some experimenting with lighting for a small photo shoot. As you can see, I am an amazingly... marvelously... mediocre photographer 😛

This is another bottle that I had done a while back... a time during which I never thought of taking photos at every step or even doing the before and after shots 🙁

I don't have much foresight... LOL.

Any hoo...

This bottle already had some designs embossed, so I can't take credit for the designs. All I did was, color the designs with glass paints (liquid- I must specify, as there are glass paints that are more like acrylic paints and come out of tubes, but they turn transparent as they dry).

At first, I had left the bottles with just the glass paints... but I felt like somehow, something was missing. I then decided to fill in all the gaps with some gold acrylic paints.

As you can see, I still need to add more acrylic paint to make it completely opaque. I was convinced that adding some varnish would do the trick. I was wrong. But I still wanted to put this up for now, even though it isn't technically finished.

Side Note: I happily flaunt my flaws... is that a bad thing?

Regardless, I really like how it looks with lights in them. I hope you like it too :)
