bones and bottle art

i finished another 'bottle art' piece with pressed flowers (thanks to Terica!!) and a butterfly wing!  i've added it to my etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/ForestWalkArt .  the bottles i decorate are vintage...dug up by me, from a field.  the skulls...are next in line for decorating!  Oh! and the small vial/necklace in the picture has delicate dragonfly wings in it!

decorated vintage bottles

We used to have WOODS across the street...until they came in with bulldozers and knocked all the trees down!! what a shame!! pine trees...big old oak trees...GONE! so my husband Sam and i started riding the 4 wheeler over there and uncovered old...bottles...cans...a horseshoe...old marbles...so many treasures!!  it became (another) addiction of mine...to scour this field...in search of anything unusual. we started finding many vintage bottles...old medicine bottles...soda bottles. i cleaned them all up and started decorating some with pressed flowers and butterfly or dragonfly wings. (the butterfly bodies are painted)  i put a cork with crystal bead in top. i like to think we're doing our part by cleaning up the field of old debris...one man's garbage is another's treasure! UPcycled!! REcycled!!
