SeaShore Collection - Sea Glass

(This project was featured at Prima's blog here.  )

The SeaShore collection is soothing and relaxing.  The colors remind me of sea glass.  I love picking up sea glass and placing my treasures in a glass jar.  I thought I would create a project playing off the theme of sea glass - my version of a ship in a bottle I guess.

I added a tiny banner above the chipboard ship that reads "Sea Glass" - a bit of whimsy.  I printed the words using a font from this site  called Fearing Madness (Jelly Beans).

This was a bottle that I bought at a discount big box store.  I set it aside till I found a purpose for it and the Prima Seashore collection was perfect.

This project may not look simple but I assure you it is.

• Rip some papers and wrap around bottle.  
• Glue fishing net to to layers and bottle
• Wrap jute around top
• Paint jute and netting with a little white paint or gesso
• Tie on shells and chipboard (big hint - at the beach I collected shells with holes in them already so I could string shells at some point)
• Decorate with Boat chipboard and typewriter keys - trim, resin, bows.  
• Done!

One last little finishing touch was to paint the chipboard boat with a  little Invild Bolme chalk edger.  I dipped a paintbrush in water and used as watercolor. 

Thanks a million for looking.
