- Made as a gift for a friend.
I made this last fall to celebrate the birthday of a very good friend. I took small pieces of beach glass that we had collected on the beach over the years and wired them onto a base of heavy wire and forming a spiral around the bottle, so it can slip on and off. I incorporated driftwood and shells from the days my friend and I walked the beaches together. The idea had actually come from the amazing piece of pottery that I found on Walnut City Beach in Ashtabula, Ohio. The plate or bowl this pottery came from appears to be an old pattern of china. Amazing to think these acorns survived in the action of the water and ended up on the beach the day I went looking. What was once a dangerously sharp piece of a broken dish is now smooth and polished.
