Lavender Salt in a Pretty Soldered Bottle

Such a great soldering day today!! I have been busy with Summer, Friends and a lot of woodwork that I almost forgot how much I love to solder. And as some of you know I sell initial bubble charms and I am out of the so......I had to work on that too. I purchased the bottle at Goodwill while my Pricipessa Lisa was visiting. 


I can't believe the collection of stuff that I added to this bottle. To start, I was thinking ...if I solder a bottle it has to be for something useful. I am not crazy on having something on a shelf just to collect dust. 

I filled the bottle with Lavender Salt and started to copper foil where I wanted the solder to show.  I gathered all my pretty junk and I started choosing pieces to add. 

On top of the lid is a gold daisy pin, disassembled. Then I added some vintage cream ribbon and a crystal to the neck of the bottle. A copper chain is wrapped around the neck with a vintage rhinestone ,a pearl button and the pocket watch.
The pocket watch has some ornate metal inside and a vintage earring.


Fresh Lavender is inside.
This was a happy day, making something out of my ordinary day!

The bottle is for sale HERE

Ciao for now
Rita
