Art break - Magic Birthday Potion for D

I have got to the age where I can see the value in gifts that are consumable. I have enough permanent things, and unless it is a very special occasion, I don't need a permanent thing to have to store.
I would rather spend money on an experience, which while temporary, is valuable in the good memories provided.

Part of the beauty of a flower is its temporary nature.

So with that in mind, I took a can of Smirnoff Double Black (a favourite of D's and a vodka mixed drink favoured by youths) and made it a bit more of an experience:








D wants to get smashed (read: intoxicated) at his party, so this should be a great start! XD

So I painted it gold with acrylic, purple acrylic paint for the lettering, then multicoloured gems and glitter finish the piece.

This isn't his only gift, fyi, I ain't being cheap! :p
Just a little something to add to his birthday experience :D
