That really made my day!<BR/><BR/>I'm like you, always making things more complex than need be. What is that!?!<BR/><BR/>I hope you found my later posts about CASTING hot glue!!! So cool! You'll love doing it!<BR/><BR/>Pls. write me at nobledesign[at]sbcglobal[dot]net if you can.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-50851277075543276282007-07-01T22:33:00.000-07:002007-07-01T22:33:00.000-07:00Hi, Shelley,Your blog is really fascinating (I had...Hi, Shelley,<BR/><BR/>Your blog is really fascinating (I hadn't connected you with the "Paper Forest" Shelley Noble until yesterday - doh! I'm a HUGE automata fan, but I digress). Your writing is really articulate and insightful without being super ego-inflated.<BR/><BR/>These bottles are beautiful, and I appreciate your willingness to experiment with new methods and materials. I often do the same, but usually end up coming up with overly complex and often ineffectual replacements for something which would have been much better served through another process! <BR/><BR/>Your hot-glue and Sculpey bottle techniques have gotten my mind turning - I appreciate you sharing this with everyone. Your blog is one of the few that I find actually worth visiting on a fairly regular basis - thank you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15443756021672772381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-12442246000201457712007-04-14T22:09:00.000-07:002007-04-14T22:09:00.000-07:00Candle wax, eh?

I could always hit it with a gloss varnish after.<BR/><BR/>Thanks, Gretchums!Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-46548664897883922302007-04-14T15:00:00.000-07:002007-04-14T15:00:00.000-07:00thanks for sharing this process, shelley! i love t...thanks for sharing this process, shelley! i love these bottles. the twig stoppers are tops!gl.https://www.blogger.com/profile/11890196589573443189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-61305523864912981782007-04-14T10:58:00.000-07:002007-04-14T10:58:00.000-07:00Thanks for the post, great to see the results, goo...Thanks for the post, great to see the results, good and bad.<BR/><BR/>I think you came up with some wonderful results.<BR/>After all your experiments, the idea came to me how about good old candle wax? Kind of clearish if it’s thin. Won't have the gloss level of glass, but should be easy to work with.<BR/><BR/>The Liquid Sclupey bottles seem perfect for halfland. The twig stoppers too!mefullhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027902750016300876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-84509543091809753992007-04-14T09:11:00.000-07:002007-04-14T09:11:00.000-07:00Aw, Ben, Thank you for the compliment, but dear Go...Aw, Ben, Thank you for the compliment, but dear God no! Hila is like, I can't even think of a suitable comparison--like a superhuman world maker.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad you said that tho because it gives me a chance to say something. I like what I'm doing/making for this project because it's my own personal expression. I can't do it "wrongly" because it can be anything I want.<BR/><BR/>I am unable temperment/ability wise to put the amount of detail and hard work that Ubertalent Hila can into what she does. But--I'm not feeling bad about it because I'm working to the level I can do and enjoy.<BR/><BR/>Sometimes I feel lacking for posting what I'm doing as I learn and try unknown things because I see that so many others can do things far better by comparison. Results are relative. But mostly I'm so excited to make progress and share it and talk about it with people who enjoy it so much they even like to see the steps along the way.<BR/><BR/>I learn from everyone's blog progress. When <A HREF="http://justinrasch.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow">Shel</A> wrote about what she was learning about frame rate, that helped me understand. When <A HREF="http://www.scarletstarstudios.com/blog" REL="nofollow">Sven</A> writes about casting it lets me know what that's like as if I were right next to him. <BR/><BR/>Every single one helps.Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-47880669651100240312007-04-14T02:43:00.000-07:002007-04-14T02:43:00.000-07:00Those Bottles are too beautiful for the Background...Those Bottles are too beautiful for the Background, they really are.
