Summer Afternoon

I made this altered bottle for an artist friend I was visiting as a giftie. I wanted it to have the feel of a summer afternoon pond under trees with sunlight shining through the leaves.





I had to coat the bottle with matte gel medium first to get the textured look I wanted. I also used interference paint to give a shiny look. It also helped that it was a beautiful sunny day when I took these pics.
