More Bottles...


Here are two more bottles that I completed today.  One I designed to display hat pins...something people are still collecting.  The other is a vintage image of a mermaid that I fell in love with...thought it belonged on a bottle with shells and pearls.  All of my bottles can be found on my etsy site (http://www.vintagexpressions.etsy.com/)

Button Bottle



Add caption
Were they sisters or maybe best friends, one in a hat the other a bow....perhaps with family on a Sunday picnic in the woods....Standing just under 6" this vintage decorated bottle features frosted glass with an antique image of two young girls attached to an antique button paper. There is antique lace around the top of the image and dangling from the chain are antique buttons, antique pearls and vintage jewelry findings.The topper is a stack of vintage buttons attached to an old watch face. The lid is removable.

Just a teaser....

This is a project I'm working on for a very dear friend.  She is an author and will be doing a book signing/show in October and asked me if I could reproduce one of her book covers into a banner for her, this is the cover of one of her more popular books.  It is being done on a banner that will be 25" x 5' to hang on the front of her table.  The remainder of the banner will be painted black with her logo/website to the right of the image.  I still have to add the title of the book and then finish it up.
