The Bottle Cottage – D

One day at the glass place there was this huge wooden frame, man I had to take it “home” with me. Did not have any idea of what EXACTLY I would use it for but the crushed glass and broken window panes in the pallets was in my head it seems. Decided to use this on the wall most visible to people visiting and, with great difficulty, got it into position and secured it. Working alone is sometime a damn pain, ideally it would have been best to work with it flat and make the crushed glass pane on a flat surface. No way once all the glass and whatnot was done that I would have been able to move the frame even an inch by myself. Nevermind. I made each pane, let it dry for a couple of days, then set it into the frame in the frame. While doing this glass crushing noticed a lot of fine poweder glass in the container I smashed the coloured glass in. Now with the Polyxylene I had an idea. The place’s name was VeloGecko, we needed a Crushed Glass Gecko! To this end I got a kitchen flour sieve and started collecting the fine powder. Mainly green and brown beer bottles. I am not very good at drawing but made my best attempt at drawing a Gecko on a piece of glass, then painted my thick Polyxylene within the outline. Lastly I wanted some eyes and they just had to be black. Now black glass bottles are not found so easily! Savanah had a drink that came in a black bottle and slowly collected those for the eyes.

I will post, a series of what would be my OLD MAN’s CV.As the place where I am is up for sale…Gypsy on the Move?
