A whimsical project that I have been dabbling with is what I have named "Wish Bottles." The card that is attached to each bottle reads:
Wish Bottle
Wishes, Hopes,
Prayers, & Dreams...
Wanting something
Sometimes seems
To be so far from reality.
But this spirit bottle is meant to be
A symbol of your fondest desires
From silly things to heartfelt fires.
Just whisper your desire in the bottle so bright
And put on the cork to seal it in tight.
If your desire was meant to be
It will show itself to thee.
Sometimes our desires are not what they seem
So we look elsewhere for another dream.
Whatever we do, whatever we pray,
We hope life is better every day.

The bottles are fun to look for and find, and I tried the technique of using an embossing pen and powder, then using the heat gun. I figured the words, etc., would be on the glass pretty good--not the case. I had to spray a coat of clear lacquer on them. For the most part, they probably would be okay, unless ya had lots of wishes! The fun part for me is the wire, beads, and other embellishments that transform a bottle into something entirely different.
I'm planning a display area at B Inspired that features all fairy kinds of things, so I thought I'd put these bottles there, too.
