the Magic of…
“Old bottles are beautiful. The glass is flecked with air bubbles and tears; the stoneware burned to a fine gritty texture never seen on modern pottery… And were are these bottles to be found? The fact is that they are all around us – in rivers, in ponds and in long-forgotten rubbish dumps…. Millions of 19th-century bottles were exported from Britain as food and drink containers and as ships´ballast… Dig any 19th-century dump in North America or Australia – and you will find British bottles of that period….” Edward Fletcher, Bottle Collecting, 1972

…two as a contrast
Digger Kilroy burrows into the earth for Victorian bottles. Alan Klein makes bottles in his spare time. Glass, surfaces, topology, history – all have the potential to melt together in this short documentary.Ian Digger Kilroy: Heres a vid made by luke moody,i did with him a while back to help spread the word, it was entered into a number of film festivals with a bit of success, im sure there is scope to do something much more commercial if the right site came up. Bottle Digging and Bottle Blowing – Ian Digger Kilroy resume the pure quality aspects of consistency with a secret of the snails. must seen between! spiritschweppes.com

I know this website presents quality depending
content and extra stuff, is there any other web page which presents these stuff in quality?
It’s an remarkable paragraph designed for all the internet users; they
will get advantage from it I am sure.
Right here is the right webpage for everyone who wishes to find
out about this topic. You know so much its almost tough to argue with you (not
that I personally will need to…HaHa). You certainly put a fresh spin on a topic that’s been written about for decades.
Excellent stuff, just great!
all the time i used to read smaller articles that as well
clear their motive, and that is also happening with this paragraph which I
am reading here.
I think that everything said was very reasonable.
However, think on this, what if you added a little content?
I mean, I don’t want to tell you how to run your blog,
however suppose you added something that grabbed a person’s attention?
I mean Bottle-Digging and Collecting | spiritSchweppes since 1783 is a little plain. You
could peek at Yahoo’s front page and watch how they create
post headlines to grab viewers to click. You might add a related video or a related pic or two to grab people excited about everything’ve written. In my
opinion, it might make your blog a little bit more interesting.
