Leaf Mobile Wrangled from Wine & Beer Bottles

"I would like to begin a torrid writ-a-thon with you regarding the creation of a smallish (5 leaves) mobile for a wedding present...you are the best leaf glass person in the universe. I adore your work. My budget is about $100, can this be accomplished? It's okay if the leaves are smaller as such. I would like a variety of greens.

I hope this was torrid enough of a beginning. I can submit a picture of my cat in lingerie if you need further enticement!

Thanks and please let me know if this is do-able..."



I'm pleased to hear that you enjoy my leaf efforts--curve--and for my part, I enjoyed yer preliminary writty--cats in lingerie will not be required, however, although the image is tantalizing. My writty seems a bit askew this afternoon, but I believe a couple of Golden Monkeys will set that right. Five leaf mobile (Folk Art Nature Inspired Chandelier, eh?)--aspen, elm, ginkgo, oak, maple? Ginkgoes are the simplest, and elms and aspens could be simplified while maintaining a good feel. Peroni beer bottles are green, so are Carlsberg, Pilsner Urquell, et cetera--what do you favor? Fitty two dollar bills may be a challenge...let me percolate the concept, and see if there's a pleasing solution. Let me know about specific leaves or bottles--or you can leaf that up to me--eheheheh, and I'll begin to conjure a couple of designs in me lumpy...





"...it reminds me of this long walk I do under the towering arches of summer trees and the lovely variations of greens in the light, laced with blue sky."




...looking for your own--give me a holler!

Sometimes it seems like you speak a different language, but the language of the glass leaves transports me, so I'll follow your blog (at a safe distance). Well.. when that part of Blogger starts working again.

Howdy Anonymous! I'm not sure I understand your query, eh? but here goes...

A woman contacted me about the possibility of making a mobile from various green bottles in the shape of leaves--the blog is a summary of correspondence that flew between us (notes back and forth, you know?).

...happy noodles and egg nog!

Sounds like an inspiring commission, although I would have gone for the naughty cat picture.
