~ Silhouette Vase ~
I have been work on something that I have called "The Silhouette Project". Basically I have been trying different mediums with the idea that I saw here:
Project #4 I made a silhouette vase using a wine bottle.
First I printed out this design.
It is the letter "t" in font Bodoni Ornaments ITC TT.
Then I washed the label off of this wine bottle.
Peanut butter usually removes labels really well, but we were out so I had to do it the hard way.
After cutting out the design I taped it to the front of the bottle.
Next I painted the bottle over the design. I used very short random brush marks that showed.
This left a texture, but you can also paint it smooth if you like.
Once the paint starts to dry (which should be very quick) peel the paper design off of the bottle. I used a mechanical pencil to scrap away any paper or paint that got stuck in the design.
Wa-la!
Here is a close up of the design.
You could also do this on a plain glass vase, cup, etc.
We don't really have flowers in the desert this time of year,
but these weeds demonstrate how it is a vase.
