I was inspired by ideas with bottles from my friend Rhea at Sweetnshabbyroses to create these bottle collages. These are vintage bottles dug from the earth. If there is a cap it's rusted, and the show their age with mineral deposits.
I used vintage dictionary pages , as I love the color of them. Bits and scraps are added on and soon you have a story.
To the top of each bottle I added a tag and various baubles including some of my handmade plastic charms.
They can be found on ebay or etsy. From Feb. 1st thru the 3rd, with any etsy or ebay purchase, I'll include 2 free greeting cards or tags . My choice. Thanks!
