T Stands for

 Hi Everyone!
I do hope all of you had a nice Christmas in the way that you celebrate, or don't. 
We had a very nice weekend taking in all of the football games and just enjoying our time together. Of course we talked to family on the phone and got lots of photos.
Our winter has switched from freezing to almost 60°F with lots and lots of rain. Makes it perfect to just make art. Yes, I got more bottles made. I will work on these until all the bottles are done. I do work on other things during the drying times and will show those later.
I am getting a nice selection.
 

Human Eyeballs
 

 Here is looking at you


 A handmade glass eye for the stopper



 Pickled Mice



 A mouse bead I bought when I was in Japan



 Werewolf Fangs. The fur is coyote fur but who will know the difference? LOL



 Because poison comes in the prettiest bottles.



 The stopper is a hand blown glass bead with a black diamond crystal on top of that.


 Well the camera was at a tilt for this photo. Magix Spell.


I covered the bottle with patina paste. I do like the effect.


 
 To get into the T-Party I have to show a drink. I tried Rain's cocktail of Cranberry, I had CranRaspberry on hand, Orange juice and 7 Up. I didn't have any ice but everything was cold from the fridge. The combination is really good and tomorrow I will make this a forzen drink in the blender.
I want to thank Bleubeard and Elizabeth for hosting this fun weekly. Be sure to stop by to see what is going on.
 
Have a great day.
 
Nicole

Congrats on your bottles, Nicole :-) my favourites are "magic spell" and "unfiltered poison".
