Altered Art Bottle The Weathered Crown, Vintage Old Granddad Decanter from the late 1950's - Three-Sided Art | One-of-a-Kind

Welcome to Whispers of the Wild! Here you'll find one-of-a-kind hand-altered art — from art bottles to framed resin art, decoupage shells and votives, each piece lovingly crafted and completely unique.

👑🦋 Meet The Weathered Crown 🦋👑

She began her life decades ago as a bourbon decanter, sealed with a coin bearing an old portrait and forgotten in an antique shop until she was found. Now she wears three faces instead of one — a dark butterfly among roses, a rusted crown rising through blue florals, and a dragonfly glittering gold across a garden gone to memory. Turn her, and she becomes someone new each time.

The Weathered Crown carries her decades honestly — a life lived once as a bottle, and now lived again as something far more lasting.

This is not just art. This is transformation.



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.
💌 Custom orders and commissions welcome — just send me a message!

💜 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
