The Altered Bottle

Remember when I told you that I made a gorgeous vase for my 13 year old daughter from an old root beer bottle that she saved? Well, I know I promised a nicer shot, as per a colleague’s request, but my right eye (the picture taking eye) is so fuzzy from the Bell’s Palsy that I just can’t seem to do it justice. Plus, I still can’t get the lighting right in the livingroom–where it has currently found a home–and I don’t own studio lights for photography, yet.

So I’m just going to show you what I did, okay? I can’t tell you how much I L-O-V-E this vase and I can’t wait to find more bottles like this (or drink more sodas) so that we can make more.

What do you think? I’m even thinking it might look even better without the hearts, but I like them. And it was a Valentine’s gift so they were appropriate at the time.
