Mini Stephen world - medicine bottles

[nid_dabeille]

Tonight I made bottles out of beads.  Like a madwoman.  Like a banshee.  Because you know how those banshees love to make bottles.

And a magnifying glass.  They're not finished.  I need to add the lens, and I need to distress them all, with spilled medicine and little labels and grime and age.

I'm a tired madwoman.

I'll buy some bottles too, but these will be the general background props.  Kind of cute?

These look fabulous. You're so creative! I love the tiniest ones in the center (the white ones and amber ones).

As someone who 1) finds antique bottles really interesting (I had to research 'em for a story) and 2) has more beads in her house than she could ever use, I'm boggled that this idea never occurred to me.

Your magnifying glass--does it incorporate a toggle, or am I much mistaken?

Yes it does incorporate a toggle! Well spotted. :D Do you make miniatures? If not, you should, what with all your beads and bottles! (Haha, that sounds like a funny kind of bead-shop-cum-pub, The Bead and Bottle. But maybe that's because it reminds me of my imaginary baby pub, The Bottle and Blanket.)

Well spotted.

The inordinate amount of time I spend at craft shops poring over beads and findings has finally paid off!

I've thought about making miniatures a few times, since the idea appeals to me (cute little things), but I never got around to doing it. Lately I've been fooling around with fandom-inspired jewelry, though only very loosely-inspired, unlike your projects.

"Baby pub," hee.

Ah, I've always loved jewelry findings, even more than the jewelry itself, I think. And I also think I get more pleasure from making jewelry than from wearing it. I have lots of bead jewelry I've made but rarely wear, but I get pleasure just from seeing it hanging on my wall racks.
