Bottle Architecture Revisted

Airlie Gardens, North Carolina

On an entry March 6th, I was enthusing about Bottle Houses and gardens (original link to post - -----> http://calico-pye.livejournal.com/tag/bottle%20houses). Recently, I was sent a link by pigshitpoet which depicted more glass bottles/architecture, some of which are under the cut.

I was being chased by a madman who was being chased by a horridly middle-aged (hero?)dirty mackintoshed (!) detective who ran with such flapping feet that we all had to slow down!!! hahahaha I was l8.

It isn't as 'Bottley' as I remember... it was pretty close up.

I can't think where it was I was in a house (in France somewhere) who had used the bottoms of real bottles for a windowwall. Can cut bottles off whereever you like by putting oil (old car oil we used) and poking with a redhot poker. Needs a non-trembly hand, but the bottle cracks off at the level of the oil. Ever so neat!
