Liberty Bottle and Embroidery


For the Three Muses challenge - Bottles or Jars
The background is a drawing and the bottle is a photo of an old vinegar bottle, the label was from Graphics Fairy. The Statue of Liberty photo I altered, I've had the original photo for years and I can't remember where I got it from.
I got the embroidery below from my loft when I was clearing out, a sample from when I did my City & Guilds. It is stitched on fabric and stitched around a CD. What may look like shisha glass is actually the CD where I have cut holes in the fabric. It is just one CD enclosed in the fabric.

    Great creative artwork. I love the image of the Statue of Liberty "partying". Also love your crocheted CD covers!
