Let me tell you about my Super Sunday Series.

So I have decided to make my Sundays super by doing upcycling projects.

 By doing some DIYs, recycling or repairing etc.

And for my very first project, I have this very beautiful wine bottles,

collected over the past year. 

All waiting in line to get a make-over! 

                             I have been postponing on working on it ( am guilty of procrastinating a                                                             lot my work ☺️🌝)    for a long time.
                                                 But then, last Sunday seemed ideal to do

                      something about it. And here goes my first attempt, my first upcycled piece. 

I had a poll on Instagram asking you guys what to do with these bottles and almost everyone wanted it to be painted!

so Bottle No.1 

is here- 

Step 1: Paint the entire bottle with a white base. 

 Even though it was just a wine bottle the makers definitely took great care in designing the bottle, What I loved about this bottle was the beautiful embossed designs on it. Not only is the shape interesting but also the design on it- A big Thumbs up to them :-) 

And I wanted that embossed design to come out in however I decide to paint it.

So started off with a white base, white is always good and lately have taken fancy to it :-) 

Chances are you might find a lot of my work with a white base or background 😀

First coat of paint. Getting ready for a makeover! 

                            Once the base was painted I highlighted the flower pattern on

the embossed bottle and

give it a mosaic-like look of water around it and more of a water paint kind off effect than solid colors.

and

The blue and green, I just love ❤❤
