PARFUME FIDDLE



my hippie bff is such a cool grandmother
this summer she had a little yard sale for her 3 granddaughters and I happened upon them

This lovely little atomizer belonged to HER aunt
I snatched it up so fast and paid them extra!

and then I got a most clever idea~
for my dressing room table to be 
I am going to take photos of my small collection of
vintage perfume bottles

and I'm going to 
them
on to a 12x12x2 wrapped canvas
my favorite is 
Oil Paint Style
You might like
Deep Sponge
Or Knife Impasto
Or Heavy Knife Impasto
Or Oil Paint Mild

I haven't decided yet...still playing around with the thought of it all
you know..backgrounds, placement, all different?  all the same?
which bottles?  all the same color?
and if you visit the site, you will find dozens of styles from sketch to sepia...tons to choose from

I think I could spend all day fiddlling this one little perfume bottle
and my next idea was to print it on some old paper and mat and frame it
for my hippy bff for Christmas and her vintage dressing table!

What a great bottle - love the "oil paint mild" effect.

Looks like fun and it is the kind of thing that guarantees a slapdash dinner because mom fell down some rabbit hole on the internet. LOL!
