hmmm...this sounds interesting...do you have a link with more info? is this a beer bottle cap or a plastic soda bottle cap? does the decoration go horizontally or vertically within the bottle cap?

Here are some links:

The bottle caps are the ones that come from a beer bottle. blissful_mama, thanks for pointing that out!

does the decoration go horizontally or vertically within the bottle cap?

I'm not sure I understand the question..more specs?

well, the first link you gave answered my question. thanks. I was wondering if the objects would stand vertically in the bottle cap or lay horizontally. From the pics, it looks like they lay horizontally? or could that be open to interpretation?

Completely open to interpretation :)

Vertically or horizontally which ever you'd like.

I think we should have a bottle cap shrine party .....

lol! I have way too many craft supplies to cart over to your house mujer.

hehe, you said, "Dodgy"

I also said "completely open" :o

ay cochina! I'm trying to be proper and civilized! Y alli vienes! lol!

any project that gives me an excuse to drink beer is a-ok by me!!

LOL!! Guinness is the best.

Hmmm, but then you have Hefeweizen right off the tap..ay dios mio!!

I don't know how to make these bottle caps, can anyone help? How do I make the plastic over the image?

The plastic over the image is usually resin. It can be purchased at Michaels craft stores. That's not required for this swap. It's all up for interpretation. As long as it's a shrine, it counts.

If you go to this shrine swap & look @ the photos you can get an idea of what a shrine is. They're all different.

I don't know what's going on with the links above, but here are ones that work..or should I say 'should' :P

Goldie Garcia's bottle cap art can be seen here: http://www.goldiegarcia.com/ I own one of her bottle cap magnets and they're really cool! She uses resin, but we don't have to. It can be used tho'.

Hope that helps! RudeNun

i dont think my skills are good enough for this swap :o(i think i need more practice ....

It's not about skills mujer, it's about creatin', inspiracion, about putting your essence into your pieces. You have it mujer, you have it..

If they do my alter ego shall come out, and we all know how Crafty Ruka gets down..
