I love these models. These are all from Ships in Bottles. They are built by a couple that lives on a forty foot sailboat (Gabrielle Rogers and Stefan Auer). After posting them I realized that one reason I like them had to do with the movement suggested. Many ship in bottle models (which are not without charm, show the ship only - no water or scenery. I also like the clean simple glass pieces in which they are built. Very beautiful.
All I can say is "WOW!" This is amazing!
ReplyDeleteYes I agree. After posting them I realized that one reason I like them is that the ships are all at sea. There is movement. Choppy seas, and wind. Many ship in bottle models, perhaps even most, show only a ship (which is not without charm, but doesn't seem to have the same appeal as the above).
ReplyDeleteThe Ship's are just amazing I think the shapes of the glass bottles & clarity of glass helps give that ocean effect movement! I like the old toy sets too!
ReplyDeleteI have always wondered how these tiny ships are placed in these bottles. My dad was a collector of these cute ornaments.
