The Bottle Works

Hey freinds. Today I’m sharing a second project that I made for the Tim Holtz idea-ology booth at this years Creativation.

It comprises a small vignette tray and a large and small vignette box. For this project, I just used the vignette tray which I painted with black soot distress paint and once dry, sanded back a little.

I added idea-ology design tape from the elementary set and added a sophisticate cabinet card which I sanded and blended in vintage photo distress ink into. Slipping in a card from the ephemera layers collector pack, before gluing into the vignette tray, it’s a perfect fit.

I know I’ve said it (500 times) before, but I LOVE the gears! My current obsession is with the large gadget gears, they fit perfectly with the new idea-ology hardware heads, (my other obsession)! I added a little grit paste randomly to the gears. Once dry I rubbed distress crayons over the grit paste and layered into place with distress collage medium.

I added one of the new baseboard dolls over the top of the cabinet cards. I love the dimension of these new dolls and he stood on the edge of the idea-ology ruler pieces I added to the base of the cabinet card, attaching a couple of the hardware heads, (did I mention OBSESSED?!)

I have a deep adoration for the idea-ology bottles and each year I am so pleased to see them back in the line. I covered the bottles with distress collage medium, added with a paint brush, to give the smooth glass some “tooth.” Once dry, I added distress crackle paint clear rock candy and set aside to air dry. Then added mushroom alcohol ink, vintage wire and milk caps, ephemera snippets. The spoon and faucet knob were altered with grit paste and I added a sticker from the clippings set, (thanks to Paula Cheney for the idea).

I added a little vintage plaque that I bought from a flea market in Copenhagen, which I moved from the ruler to the top of the cabinet card and back several times, before placing it at the top… for those with good “spot the mistake” eyes.

You can just see my project sitting in the box in the top left of the photo.

Thanks for stopping by. I will be back tomorrow with my final creativation project.

    A fabulous creation Zoe, I really like the idea of the ‘shelf’ in the vignette. Your little bottles look incredibly old, the alcohol ink really did a good job of making them look so aged. Very inspiring! xx
