One sip to Immortality

Ever craved the secret to eternal youth, immortality? Mystics, necromancers and sorcerers from East and West claim to have found the key, the mysterious water which grants immortality to the drinker.

I created these potion bottles in tiny one inch scale for a miniature project based on the topic of Nicholas Flamel and the Elixir of Life. The project was just a quickie which took up the past 2.5 days, including photography yesterday (see the photos included). Some photos are to be published, and I'll update that in my 'publicity page' here on this blog as usual.

Want to live forever? I'm selling extras to collectors and some will be sold at the magical marketplace of Whimsic Alley on Wilshire Blvd, CA.

See them in the making below as well, and note the stone spiral floor which you saw in the making in previous post here. 

Hitting the Bottle

That's right - the frustration of awaiting the keys to my new place in Los Feliz (near Hollywood) has forced me to hit the bottle. ;) I can't really spread out and focus on any particularly expansive miniature sets right now, so I am tackling little props in bulk such as these hand-blown glass bottles and jars. I have them hand-blown by my glassblower in NY and I finish them off.

If molten gold, gathered moss, mugwort and soot are on your shopping list then look no further. As usual, I've made far more than I need and sell any extras at my online shop. They've been popular sellers for years and featured in a magazine in the UK in 2010.

Taking a quick break from Myrtle illustration.... I thought I'd share some photos of these glass bottles of magic matter against a matchstick...
(I took these photos back in 2010).
