Bottles

I made these dancing bottles


for a show at the David Shelton Gallery in San Antonio (now in Houston) a few years ago and have always been drawn to making groups of different types of bottles.  Here are two new sets that I finished this week.  I always try to make more contemporary pieces.  However, these are a look to the Japanese past.  I did the imprint on the front and backside with a piece of bark from an old pine tree.






Usually I start out by making templates for the shapes with roofing paper like so.


Here are the second group of bottles that I finished using the above templates.
