Bottle Brush Whimsy!
Here is an array of holiday projects I created using bottle brush trees and wreaths, which I either bleached or hand dyed, then decorated with vintage embellishments and Lisa style!These doll are the Sweetie Swizzleberrys!
Meet Miss Sweetie Swizzleberry, a bottle brush tree doll ornament. Made from vintage bottle brush tree, vintage millinery, paper wire, distressed old fashioned tinsel, chenille, my handpainted vintage styrofoam heads, crepe paper, mercury beads and more.
Sweetie's tree body was hand bleached, dyed and painted, then lightly sprinkled w/clear glitter.
Meet the Bottle Brush Wreath Ornaments!This is one I made using a bottle brush wreath I dyed a kitchy pink and added a pine cone doll I made and aged with distress inks, and other fun embellishments!Here is another bottle brush wreath ornament I made using a hand dyed kitchy aqua bottle brush wreath, hand dyed pink bottle brush tree, vintage flocked deer which I hand dyed and various other embellishments!Here are two more versions:
Now meet another version, The Matryoshka's!Meet: Pollyanna and she loves fairy tales!
This new piece is made from a hand dyed, vintage bottle brush wreath I created, then embellished with vintage kitchy pieces, vintage beading, millinery, berries, my own scrapbook paper and my handmade Matryoshka Dolls, glitter, paints and more. Meet: Nellie and she loves fairy tales!
This new piece is made from a hand dyed, vintage bottle brush wreath I created, then embellished with vintage kitchy pieces, vintage beading, millinery, berries, my own scrapbook paper and my handmade Matryoshka Dolls, glitter, paints and more. I hope you enjoyed some of the fun I had with bottle brush trees and wreaths. All were made from recycled bottle brush ornaments which I dismantled, re-dyed and re-made into my own style!
Have a wonderful Holiday filled day!
