I realise I have added a hashtag to #Worner so I can find anyone else talking about him and his #bottles. No one is talking about him and his #bottles! Please someone talk about Worner and his #bottles, I’m stuck down a #rabbitHole that goes no further

I’ve been absolutely fascinated by Carl #Worner and his dioramas in bottles since I saw someone had found one, unattributed and filthy, at the back of a thrift shop. They’re fabulous! Whole worlds, often #bars or #saloons, in a bottle - often with a hidden man (usually on the loo, apparently). Little is known about him other than he was a German immigrant to the US in the late 1800’s who ‘lived and traveled extensively though New England’ #art #folkArt #diorama #whimsy https://www.folkartinbottles.com/artists/artists-s-z/57-carl-worner
