Altered Bottles... Fairy Tales in Glass

Greetings Dear Readers,

About a year ago I discovered JoAnnA's blog site and was inspired by her incredible art. The first things I saw were her altered bottles. After a bit of a push by Mama Magpie I wrote to JoAnnA and asked if I could use some of her ideas as I began to create my own bottles. I didn't want to steal ideas, but I was so inspired. Later after done with the first batch I sent her photos and asked for her comments. I loved what she said about this batch. She called them, "Fairy Tales in Glass." Appropriately that's what I wanted to share, the fairy tale side of love... that first flame, the thoughts in your hearts as you are apart, the hope. And, while I know that love is not always so fairytale-like, and in actual fact is hard work and contains elements of both joy and sorrow I wanted to capture these moments on glass.

"Fairy Song"

This bottle is very old. I have not figured out it's exact time period, but I'm thinking perhaps late 1800's or early 1900's. Embellished with a nice reproduction of a period photo, enhanced with lace "fairy wings" and layered atop a piece of vintage sheet music. All is covered in pure beeswax and enhanced with glitter. The top is embellished with a lovely ribbon and vintage earring. A cute and fanciful piece to enjoy as you dream about world of "make-believe."

Suggested Price:

$18.50

"Destiny"

Another vintage bottle. Again, a reproduction of a period photo. She wears wings as if she is the Faerie Queen. All is covered in a gorgeous crystal glitter, embellished with a bit of ribbon, vintage earring and a philosophy tag.
