I had this glass bottle for about 1 week, fell in love with its color and the frosted flower that is on it. I installed a light string and plugged it in. WOW what an amazing pink glow. I posted it up on Facebook and in under an hour a friend of mine wanted to purchase it. I was happy and sad all at the same time. I had no intention of selling it, but what can you do... if it can bring joy to someone then I'll let it go... heck I can always get another pink vodka bottle !

Green Bottles
Vodka Anyone?
More Then One Is Fun
A Little Light Comfort
Coronita Tea Light Set
I was planning on having a few friends over for some BBQ and drinks one night this summer... and a thought came to my mind... why not make some accent lights for around the deck out of Corna bottles ! While Corona bottles are nice, they are large... and I wanted something a little smaller and wouldn't you know I found MINI Corona's ! I removed the bottom of the bottle and placed them over a battery operated tea light. Tadaaa ! I love this idea and it's sooo simple.

A Local Vineyard
Grapes
So here is my first attempt at a light up wine bottle using "Christmas Lights". I love this, I think I love everything about it. Except for the HUGE crack I made up the back of the bottle while trying to drill the hole for the power cord... oops! But it's OK, I like it so much I don't really want to sell this one anyway... However I will be making more, some like this one and some with dark green or brown glass with red/purple grapes.
My First Accent Wine Bottle Lamp
So I had this grand vision of lopping off the bottoms of wine bottles, hanging a candle inside them, and then selling them as hanging lanterns for outside patios and decks and the like... Then a good friend brought to my attention the dangers of fire.... and well she was right, I do not want to be responsible for setting something a blaze because it was hung improperly or maybe a little too close to something flammable. Sooo I altered my idea, and to be honest, I'm actually very happy with all the other ideas and creativity that has come from trying to light a glass bottle w/o fire.
So here was my first hanging glass bottle lantern, and quite possibly my last. But we'll see, there are battery operated tea lights so you never know...

The Wine Bottle Project.
Hi everyone, I know I started this blog a long time ago... it was mainly going to be for my photography business, however I've mostly been using Facebook over the last few years for that. But I have a new venture in my business and I'd like to come back here and take advantage of my own "website" for my bottle lamps.
Hope you enjoy them, and if you are interested in purchasing any of them please email me.
