... Cobolt blue glass - what a great idea and VERY attractive - consider yourself fortunate that you cant afford the real thing - how else would you have proven your creativity?
Hope you don't mind, if I copy you... thank you.
I have one in my '54 bug - was made in a mold, out of Bondo by a great Japanese artist and friend - Mr. Fumitaka Sato of Tokyo, Japan in 1992...
... love yours too.

| Depending on the price of the bottles, id say $20 shipped or so. If i can find cheaper bottles (avoid antique stores) it will be less. |

... be fair to yourself, but at that price - twenty for you and USA shipment-$6 for the "vase" = $26 - i'm in - that's great.
On one of our vacations to Taos, NM, we saw a Taos Pueblo Indian ceremonial drum for sale and asked who the artist was... they told us and I told them, I would only buy (that work of art) if the maker signed it. We were told to return several hours later and did buy the signed piece - you gotta' sign or identify your pieces too...
... for when they are sought after, on this-samba, down the road.

... only criticism, I have is where you have it mounted - doesn't seem to be in the best place - mounted on a glove box door, that swings down... might be better on a stationary surface.

It has held so far even with opening the door.
Id like to mount it on the vents but the magnet wont hold it. Im going to try to make it to some antique malls this weekend and look for some more as long as were are not slammed by rain. |
