Guest Designer - Lula Marynowska

It is time to introduce our Guest Designer for the current challenge. Please say hello and give a warm welcome to Lula Marynowska whose blog is u Luli. Lula was the top pick from the 'Put Your Inking Cap On' challenge.

My name is Lucyna Marynowska, aka Lula. I come from the north of Poland. Fifty-eight, retired widow, mum of two grown up boys and a happy grandma.

I started my crafting journey 5 years ago as a card maker and immediately became an addicted paper-lover. I enjoy creating anything from cards to altered art. I'm very keen on experimenting with various types of mediums. I love challenges to spark my creativity and making crafty friends all over the world makes me very happy.

I am thrilled to have been invited to guest design for Frilly and Funky. Thanks bunches Ladies for this opportunity!

While reading a book about ancient Rome I came across these beautiful Ancient Roman Glass Artifacts' photo.

I immediately thought about a bottle I have been hoarding for a long time and decided to alter the glass to make it older and rare.

I started with gluing the chipboard letters and some microbeads to the surface I used soft gel matte medium. Next step was giving a solid coat of white gesso to the whole bottle. When it was dry I coloured all with dylusions acrylic paints and ink sprays. I also rubbed some metallic gilding wax on. To finish off I added some texture stamping and some metal junk from my drawers.

Hope you like it!

Crafty hugs from Lula!
