Reply:I like that one, nice work!Last summer my fiancee and I were trying to fish a certain area of a small river around here.The only way to get to where we wanted to be was on private property, it is a local nursery.We stopped in the nursery to ask permission and ended up hangin out with the older couple that ran the place instead. Through the course of conversation, me being a welder came up.She took us in the backyard and showed us all this metal art she collects. Among the pieces was a bottle tree. She said people were offering her 100 bucks for it!Yup

Reply:i made one of those for a friend a few years ago, i dont have any pictures though.  apparently its an old voodoo thing to ward off evil spirits, the idea being that all the shiny and sparkly things distract the spirits, they get tangled up and cant get into the house to do whatever it is bad spirits do.

Reply:That's pretty neat.  I imagine it looks cool when the wind makes the bottles move slightly.Does she blow her own glass, and wanted a place to display her work?Cool bender.  Bet it's a knuckle buster if it slips sideways while you're bending.  Been there, done that"Any day above ground is a good day"http://www.farmersamm.com/
