Love potion for the altered poison bottle at stampotique

Hey there bloggers,
Well here I am again with an altered item, which is something far from the norm for me, not sure about the results but I enjoyed the journey!!
So here is my love potion, my entry for the altered poison bottle at stampotique:

I started with a plain cider bottle ( liked the shape , tipped the cider away..yucky stuff to me!) and then needed a stopper and happened across this light bulb...my eureka moment!! I don't do big eureka moments...!!!, but it  seemed to make a great stopper.
I coloured the outside of the bottle by dripping alcohol inks down and over the light bulb.
 I then set about making the potion, you cannot see it clearly until shaken, but i used water coloured with alcohol inks, fine glitter and olive oil, when shaken the blobs float around and I liked that!!!
The labels were made from sticky ellipse tape (usually for masking), they were coloured with DI in tumbled glass, broken china and dusty concord.I the stamped the heart collage in dusty concord and spritzed, when dry I added rubons for letters and hearts on a string in black soot.
The ingredients label was to cover the bar code on the bottle and made in the same way, and i did some handwriting, oh my gosh!!
please excuse the rubbish photo...not my forte..it says handmade for you with love..ingredients, my heart, my soul, my love..
The tag itself was a small tag coloured in same way, this little chappie,(who I love!!)the 3-d hearts are from the stampotique door.. I added and rub ons and stones to add a bit of something!?

I wound paper string around neck and secured the light bulb, I hope!!!!, and dripped wax down the bottle..
All in all it was a real change for me and is okay, but hop across and see the designers , there are some stunners!!! @ http://stampotiquedesignerschallenge.blogspot.com/

    How can you possibly say that you are mojoless? This is terrific. Have seen a couple of other altered bottle on blogs and wondered what was going on. Love how you filled yours. Would never have thought of using oil and glitter. Bit late for WOYWW commenting as the storms last night chucked me off the internet. The television signal wasn't much better either. Glad I posted this post. Hugs Mrs A.

    The blue colour is wonderful, and the light bulb is pure genius! I can't believe you threw the cider away ... I think I would have forced it down LOL! I think your mojo is well and truly present and correct! Thanks for joining the challenge, Kate
