Spooky bottles - Maigan Lynn's 'Melowyn' - by Tera

Hallo,
   I have for you today a small collection of spooky bottles. I love bottles and have a habit of collecting interesting ones that I find at the thrift stores and garage sales to the point where I now have probably 3 large rubber bins full of them so when I saw the labels for 'witches brew' and ect in the sale bin at our local A.C.Moore I immediately thought of the bottles.
First I spray painted them black - 2 coats and then I added all the fun stuff.
The main image for both bottles is one of my newer ones by Maigan Lynn called 'Melowyn'.
I colored Melowyn with prismacolor pencils and couldn't resist coloring her 2 different ways.
I glued the images to the bottles along with the labels and added some rhinestones and ribbon and all done. They were such fun to do!!!!
   All for me today - Have a spooky Halloweeen!!!!
       Tera

I am about to adventure into the life of Retirement and am looking forward to significantly more time in the studio, playing with my Grandkids and traveling now and then with the hubby. I have spent 41 years as an RN - mostly in Critical Care. I picked up painting and more formal art again when my kids went from High School into college. I have always done some form of art, even in the busy years of Career, Mom, Military wife - mostly in the crafty forms(sewing, rubber stamping, its a long list...) Now I mainly paint with encaustic wax. Encaustic is an ancient art form from Greece and Egypt that uses beeswax, natural tree resin and pigments. Encaustic is painted while melted in thin layers and every layer is fused to those below with heat( I mostly use a torch). True to my 'normal' self I have 3 or 4 other hobbies that keep me busy too , and you will be seeing(and have been) those here too.
