Infused Olive Oil bottles



The other day I decided to mess around with a few empty olive oil bottles.
I have been wanting to make infused olive oil for awhile as well.
Since we are in the holiday season I thought they would make great gifts if I painted the herbs used on the bottle..





I decided to make two kinds of infused olive oil - 
rosemary, garlic and hot pepper
and
basil, garlic and hot pepper.


On the front I painted an olive branch.



On one side I painted a sprig of rosemary.


On the other a bulb of garlic with a few cloves broken off.


Turned out better than expected.

This is a picture of the basil, garlic and hot pepper Infused Oil.



The Aquarium

A friend wanted an aquarium but her apartment is small and there wasn't a ton of room to place a large aquarium. 
She ended up with something much smaller.
 We knew that we wouldn't be able to buy many fish to put inside because of the size.
My Solution!
Paint a couple shells and a few sea creatures on the front.
Something bright...




Add a sand dollar, nautilus shell, blue crab, sea horse and miscellaneous shells to the mix.


Turned out great - don't ya think?
