Altered Art bottle The Compass Drake

Welcome to Whispers of the Wild, where ordinary bottles become extraordinary works of art.
She has navigated every lost sea and unmapped sky, her scales the color of deep water and her eyes fixed always on true north. The Compass Drake does not follow the stars — she is the star the lost ones navigate by. Every compass rose, every steampunk dial, every forgotten meridian exists because she passed through it once and left her mark. Find her and you will never be lost again. This bottle is a landmark. This bottle is a way home.

• One of a kind – only one available


Here you'll find one-of-a-kind hand-altered art bottles, each one lovingly crafted and completely unique. Every piece is made by hand in my studio using vintage embellishments, mixed media textures and original imagery — no two are ever the same.
My work is inspired by forgotten beauty, quiet mystery and the romance of another era. If you love cottagecore, shabby chic, Victorian aesthetics or simply beautiful things that tell a story — you're in the right place. 💙
Currently available: The Petal & Sky Sisters Collection — four breathtaking altered art bottles in dusty blue, blush pink and aged silver. Each one is a tiny world waiting to find her forever home.
📦 All pieces are carefully packaged and shipped with love.

💜 ABOUT MY SHOP
Hello and welcome — I'm so glad you found me! 🌸
I'm an artist and maker with a deep love for beautiful, layered, storied things. I create hand-altered decorative bottles that are part sculpture, part collage and part daydream — each one built up with paint, texture, vintage jewellery findings, ribbon, charms and carefully chosen imagery until she becomes something truly her own.
My process is slow and intentional. I work in small collections, which means everything in my shop is genuinely limited — often just one of a kind. I believe the things we surround ourselves with should spark something in us: joy, wonder, nostalgia, or simply a quiet kind of beauty.
Every bottle that leaves my studio is wrapped carefully and sent out into the world with the hope that she lands exactly where she belongs.
Thank you so much for stopping by. I hope something here speaks to you. 💙
With love and creativity,

Kim Dulmage
