There is more than wine in that bottle!

We opened a wine bottle last weekend and it had foil like covering which I
took off as easily as possible without tearing it all up - could be used
to form any metal type item. It is soft enough you could emboss a design in
it and use as a picture or the inserts of doors in a pie safe. No
picture; just theory. The wire "thingie" that held the cork in place looked just
like a footstool to me, and about the right size. You might want to
shorten it just a bit. I believe the cork could be carved to make an item, say a
heart, and then you could use it to print hearts across the top of a
roombox or something.

Vacation Dreamer

Sand, sun and water seem a long way away in the winter, don't they? If we can't BE there, at least we can dream......
Chris Pecherzewski is very proud of her young grand-daughter Anna, who made this wonderful beach scene (her first mini project!)

Still Partying?


Thalia Stambaugh's QS scene, featuring a RL sized Asti bottle.

The wine bottle on the table is a plastic sales tag (see http://littleroomers.blogspot.com/2009/06/quarter-inch-wine-bottles.html)
She wrote: I know the corkscrew confetti is out of scale, but I couldn't resist it. I cut very narrow strips of colored paper and wound it very tightly around a straight pin. Then I sprayed it with satin sealer (to make it keep it's shape) and cut it in tiny pieces. I used micro-glitter in red blue and gold to make the regular confetti.
