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?

They look really cute! I like the batch of white ones to the left the most.
BTW, I *just* watched Master and Commander a couple days ago XD

Nice job!

They´re very good trompe-l´oeils! Ever thought of working as a scale-prop maker for TV or movies?

Excellent work! I can't wait to see more of this project!

Cute indeed. I'm sure you will include some laudanum bottles as well. Just don't swig too much, leave some for Stephen. *g*

Does the word, 'obsession' ring any bells? *g* But then, it is all in a good and noble cause. Our surgeon does need a well kitted out dispensary and sick berth to be effective.

Very impressed. I shall be wanting loads of bottles and jars for potions and foodstuffs, so there's a bit of inspiration there, thanks.

eep eep eep!

Thanks! And hooray! Isn't it a great movie?

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Thank you!

I'd like that! I've worked on life-sized props on stage (as well as acting). And I used to think about making museum maquettes and dioramas etc. Watching the M&C bonus features last weekend made me want to make movie props too, yes.

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Hee, me too.

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Obsession? What makes you say that??? :D

I decided that the purple tiny bottle to the far left must be Stephen's personal laudanum bottle.

[grace-poppy.livejournal.com]

Thanks! :D

Thanks! They were really fun to make. Must say though, the beads were surprisingly expensive - but not nearly as expensive as buying that many real dollhouse sized bottles.

tee hee hee! :D

This was me getting all speechless because of all the cuteness and weeeee smallnes.

weeeeeeeeeeee

Really impressive. I'm in pretty much the same boat (teehee... ahem... sorry) as I'm having to find ways to make everything from scratch for my current project...

As it's my first, I thought I'd give one of those really cheap, flatpacked houses from ebay a go... Now, because I'm a cheapskate I'm having to make a lot of stuff from scratch. Those bottles are a wonderful inspiration. Thanks!

Great job! I spent so much time making "pretty perfume bottles" that it never dawned on me that one could, indeed, make medicine bottles and such from beads! *Dawn breaks over marble skull.*
Seems your project is moving along nicely!

Eeh, pretteh!

You are amazing Miss Grace!! They're lovely!

[xarpiex.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's an awesome movie :)

[tselmende.livejournal.com]

These are so totally awesome. Now I want to make some for my house. :D

I never did answer your question about what kind it is, did I? It's a farm house, on the outside, but a regency/victorian on the in. :-/ Not real accurate.
