The first bottle looks a lot like Misty's sample. I chose a brown background, and because of the word "poison" I couldn't stop thinking about poison ivy, so I added some. I thought it looked sort of like an old bottle you might find tucked in the back of a barn, and wouldn't it be ironic for it to be sitting in some poison ivy?

The background and bottle were created from fabrics I designed in photoshop, while the leaves are hand dyed.
I think it's kind of fun.
The next bottle Misty calls a "coffin" bottle. Well, it looked kind of like a vase to me, so I went with that. I went a little wild and carefree with this one, screen printing the flowers and using some fabric I designed for the vase.

| I was going for sort of a retro cut glass look on the bottle. |

| I like the flowers, but feel that the white ones still need something - maybe a few lazy daisies in the centers and some French knots? If you'd like to join in the fun head over to Misty's blog and download these free patterns. Thanks for inviting me to play, Misty! |
