i've always loved bottles, ...
of beauty and not so much.

quite a few years ago i discovered the bottle tree.
i fell in love.

i want to make different styles of the tree, ...
say driftwood, different shapes of iron and so on.
the creativity is endless. i need to make this a priority lol.

the folklore is that the bottles capture evil spirits/ghosts.
when you hear the bottle howl, that's a spirit inside the bottle.
the cobalt color is said to be best at attracting.

this photo belongs to eudora welty. she's more so known for her short stories.
but quite a photographer she was.

bottle trees are a HUGE thing here in the South!!! Cobalt blue is official color of SC so cobalt blue ones got for $75 and up...some folks use rebar and make them and sell them here...
