S was away on a training all of last week and suddenly when I got back home from work, I felt like I had loads of time. Rather, I felt kind of lost when I came back to an empty home and I revived my 'glass painting' hobby! I used to work on glass paintings back in Pune, frame it and even managed to gift a few, sell a few... Have a look here and here!
In Paris, I am not sure where to go looking for someone or shops that will readily give me a piece of glass like back home in India...so I started painting on used bottles like here, here and here! Some of my friends and S remember this and often, bring back empty interesting bottles for me! This time, I tried to give it a tie-and-dye texture to it!
....I even strung some beads together to decorate the bottle...makes it look '"pretty"? ...The beads came from earrings out of which I lost one! So I used the beads in one earring to do this! Am I the recycling queen or what!!??!! :)
Edited to add: A closer look at the "necklace"
I also found a place and some use for it at home, pretty quickly! I have this quirk, I have to do everything complete this minute, if I don't, its always running in the background whatever I do...so I found these mini-flowers in the Sunday market and kind of got a "closure" for this!
My dad sent me a message ( he is not sure how to write a comment yet!)... Hi,The blood red colour is enchanting,appealing and so beautiful.With the flowers inserted, the vase looks elegent,decent and adds charm,a beauty piece like the creator J . APPA
I am so thrilled and absolutely happy! :)

It just means I must be in the "mood" for it! :)
Hey Jan,
The bottles look awesome!BTW FYI, you can get some glass bottles/jars in IKEA (Check them out if you have one in Paris). There is a store called Michael's in the US, its basically a go to place for all crafts store. They have a lot of glass holders for candles..so try them.
Kamala,
Thank you...I did notice when I went to IKEA! :) Only problem going to IKEA is a big project as they are mostly really far away from the city...
