Happiness is...throwing a coin into a Wishing Well!

Hellllowwww peeps!

I love when it rains...and it was a big rainy day for us! Since the morning I wanted to create something which I have always planned but never initiated :( I always thought of stock up some realllly good mdf products for that...but then today it suddenly clicked on my mind....that I have to create this....now or never!

Right from my childhood and till date I am simply fascinated with wishing well! It gives an immense pleasure to wish for your own wishes to come true :) and they gives you a Smile full of satisfaction. .I got up from my bed with the thought that I have to make it....How...No clue...so here my journey begins towards the wishing well :)

I have to look out for the base...and luckily I have found one of my fav lotions bottle free....I simply love its fragnance and will recommend to all my fellllla in the blogland :)

I started covering it up with lot of layers of Gesso, acrylic colours, mustard seeds (my favourites), some green leafs (ya....u heard it right) and some tissue papers.

I didn't stop my self till the time I was not satisfied with the look...

Thicker the better...

Then I made a base of these wodden sticks which was left overs from my last few projects to the base...and fixed them up with the super glue....it's really effective!

I took some cardboards...joined them together to make a base... front side...

Back side...

Till the time...It's getting dried I was wondering for my wishing well bucket...so I took these medicine bottle cover meters...I am sure they must be in ample in everyone's house!

Till this point I was not so sure that how exactly I am gonna make this...but I guess it's rightly said..."Where there is a will, there is a way!"

I have used alchol inks on this..along with acrylic colours.... Now be ready for good number of screenshots!

A side look....

I am playing along with Berry71Bleau challenge...and I guess this project contains most of my favourite thingis!!

Corners again...I have used some dry potpourri to make this look more mystical :)

The Top...You can find my glittey bucket :) I loved these two sentiments..."On a Happy Day" and "Miracles Do Happen"

My fav.... owl!! I feel like that me n owls are way similar! hun!

Now It's not an end...as this was a glass bottle base...here the magic begins...

Yeppp! you got it right...you can use it as a tea light holder or led light holder in the night....and you won't belive this surely looks really really magical :)
