Bottles

This is a double compartment bowl made from a white wine bottle. These are dishwasher safe. Can be made from any color bottle.

This below was an accident. I didn't expect the paint to stay on, but it did. I like the way it turned out. This is beaded with glass beads. Hand wash. This is a cheese tray, you can also use them for candles, lemons/limes, stuffed mushrooms, crackers... the possibilities are endless.

  This below is a beachy bottle. Beaded with all natural green river rock and shell beads.
Hand wash. All bottles come with a spreader. The bowls come with a condiment fork. The spreaders and forks are all purchased from Crate and Barrel/World Market etc.

This one I love. Its glass beads, in turquoise and purple and black. Really cute and fun!

This is an example of a bottle that I put the label back on.  This was purchased in Idaho in a Vintage wine shop I found. There is this street in Idaho called "Chicken Dinner Road" This wine is called Chicken Dinner Wine and has the story of Chicken Dinner Road on the back.

These are Bacardi bottles. These are really neat, as the "Bacardi" etched in the glass is still visible after firing, as well as a date. Neat for limes and Mojito's!

This is what happens to an Absolute Vodka bottle if you put it in a kiln! Really neat. The paint all stays on. These are bigger than wine bottles. Great cheese tray.

A Ketel One Vodka bottle.. Very nice, very big. Great cheese tray.

I put the label back on- on the underneath of the bottle- so you always have a nice, clean work area for your food. The labels are also glued to designer paper, leaving the back pretty. They are sprayed with a waterproof spray that leaves them hand washable, and the label will not come off. Below is an example of what the back looks like.

Bellissimo

I have finally started my business!  Bellissimo... "everything beautiful" in Italian.  I am from an Italian family where wine is a food group.  This is what I have decided to do with all of those empty wine bottles.
Slumped Glass is done in a Kiln at a very high temperature for a very long time.  I do these in my home with bottles that I purchase, I get from friends and/or recycle.  I buy local wines that are interesting and keep the bottles, and in some cases the labels.  The labels can be put back on after the bottles are slumped.  I do all of the bead work with high quality, beautiful beads.  I can slump any bottle- and take special requests. Do you have a bottle that is special to you? I can make a cheesetray out of it.  I can also do any design as far as the bead work- I  have taken requests for weddings/birthdays/holidays etc and will make one especially for you. The prices are 10.00-20.00 per bottle depending on the size and the bottle. Most of them are 15.00 and come with a nice spreader or condiment fork.  If you have any questions- please E-MAIL ME.
