Bottle Bottom Blues!

Hello there! Don't worry - i haven't turned to the bottle quite yet - I was trying to think of a title for my canvas and this one wouldn't go away - so I'm stuck with it!!! So I've been making a canvas for the latest paperartsy challenge. It started life as a tag and developed from there!

Here's the tag - I used lots of fesco paints and an old hot picks stamp plus a variety of jofy stamps for the flowers and foliage.

The canvas idea developed largely after watching the demo from Leandra on painting the bottles - I decided I wanted to follow her technique with one of the little bitty TH bottles - so I did - 

I also created the canvas using grungepaste and stencils then more fresco paint plus some lovely bits that the wonderful Alison Bomber (Butterfly) sent me along with the tags she made at Ally Pally whilst demoing for paperartsy. - thanks again Alison!

I was hoping you could maybe think the large canvas circles looked a bit like bottle bottom stains .... no? Oh well!!! Nevermind!

I'd like to enter this into paperartsy topic-10-bottles-challenge.

We had another good day yesterday - I went to physio for my back - she says I have an irritated disc - thats mostly down to poor posture! Anyway - she has given me some exercises to do and I go again next week. She manipulated my back - which made three large cracking  noises - and although its not right its definitely feeling better. Its also good to know that i can do lots to help myself! So hopefully it will be controllable.

We did some other bits and bats - including painting the salt dough - 

olives, bread and pizza all for the greek play that the girls are in! 

I hope you have a great Saturday!

Big Hugs
