The Three Muses are clearly getting in the festive spirit already as their theme for artistic creations this week is 'bottles'. These four have been gathering dust in my bathroom for years. I bought the deep blue one in trendy store in Hampstead and doubtless paid around ten times what it was worth. I used to love hanging out with the 'folks who live on the hill'. If you've never been, it's a very expensive part of London with trendy boutiques and bars. The best bit though is the Heath - a vast expanse of parkland and woods slap bang in the centre of London. A favourite haunt when I lived in our capital, especially enjoying the view from the top of Parliament Hill.
Anyway, back to my bottles. I took a photo then had a good old playaround in Photoshop giving what is supposed to be a slightly vintage feel. I felt there was a bit of magic around this old glassware - I'm sure I can see the remnants of a spell or two spilling out...
