Description :

Here comes an inspiration which is a personal favorite, bottles upcycled into Aztec Gods. These surely take bottle art to the next level.

STEP 1 : Mix the clay

• Take Mouldit resin base and hardener, mix it thoroughly to make even dough.

STEP 2 : Making strips

• Take the dough; roll it to make the medium thin slab with a rolling pin. • Mark and cut the rectangular strips in various sizes according to the size of the periphery of the bottle. • Leave it till semi dry.

STEP 3 : Sticking the strips on the bottle

• Stick the clay strips on the bottle with Fabric Glue. • Let it dry. • Make sure that while sticking the clay strips on the bottle leave random gap in between the two.

STEP 4 : Making designs on the strips

• Make a few Aztec designs by engraving in to the slabs using paper, cutter, ruler, clay carving tools on the strips. • Let it dry.

STEP 5 : Make two bottles

• Similarly make two such bottles.

STEP 6 : Making the faces

• Take some dough to make the Aztec faces from the clay. • Roll the dough with rolling pin and keep it till semi dry.

STEP 7 : Drawing the faces

• Draw two Aztec faces on the slab, cut along the outlines of the faces neatly.

STEP 8 : Creating texture

• Create the texture on the faces with clay carving tools. • Let it dry.

STEP 9 : Assembly and Painting

• Attach and stick the faces aesthetically on the rim of the bottle with Fabric Glue. Let it dry. • Paint the bottle and the faces first the darker coat of with Acrylic Colours Black 02 for one and Dark Brown 05 for another bottle. • Wipe out the colour with a rough rag. You will get to see the darker shade in the grooves. • Apply the second coat on both the bottles using Acrylic Colour Pearl Metallic Gold 352. Let it dry.
