Raven & Tree Branch Silhouette Vases

18

Capture the stark, haunting beauty of a cold autumn night with raven and tree branch silhouette vases. This design is highly artistic and fits beautifully into modern, farmhouse, or traditional Halloween decor. Start by painting your bottle in a soft, chalky white or light cream color. A matte, chalk-finish paint provides a beautiful, non-reflective surface that looks like fine ceramic.

Using a fine-tip black paint pen or a detailed stencil, paint gnarled, leafless tree branches stretching up from the base of the bottle and wrapping around the shoulders. On one of the prominent branches, paint the distinct silhouette of a perched raven or crow, complete with its sharp beak and ruffled feathers. You can add tiny flecks of gold paint in the background to represent distant stars. Insert a few real dried branches or black faux feathers into the neck of the bottle to bring the three-dimensional theme to life.
