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 cute!

:D

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!

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!

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.

They are so cute!!! How creative of you!

Okay, so you're a madwoman, but a very creative and talented one! The bottles are adorable, and I can't wait to see them finished, with the labels and everything. Did you make the magnifying glass, or did you find it somewhere?

[ldhenson.livejournal.com]

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?

[soho-iced.livejournal.com]

Most definitely cute. I like the way the hole down the middle of the oblong ones makes them look extra authentic, like the bottle was made of really thick glass.

[ladybugjo.livejournal.com]

I love the pink ones on the right. They look so fancy and pretty, almost like perfume bottles. And the clearish ones on the left are so convincing, like you could actually pour something right out of it!!

[rosamundeb.livejournal.com]

Your magnifying glass turned out great!

And your idea for the bottles is genius - *G*.
