Mixing it up a bit. - 12/12/2010 8:55:40 AM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline For the last year or so, I've had my main collecting interests grouped on shelves in my case, with one or two shelves of random bottles I just like for one reason or another. This is some of my Violin Bottles, my Half Pint Mineral Waters, and most of my Colognes. Here's a shot of how its looked for awhile.

RE: Mixing it up a bit. - 12/12/2010 8:57:23 AM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline I decided to mix it up a bit, to spread my colors around, and alternate forms for contrast. I think I like it much better this way. Looks far more balenced to me.

When I looked at the before by brain thought a "snapshop" of each shelf was good enough. Now I look and can't look away. My eyes were forced to scan and appreciate each one on a much more individual basis, taking time to soak up all the different shapes, colors and sizes. Nice job IMO!! _____________________________ Quando Omni Flunkus Moritati Eric (in reply to cowseatmaize) Post #: 7

I have some larger bottles that would be included, but they get to be too much weight. They are displayed on shelves and window sills around the house. cowseatmaize, glad you took the time to re-examine the pics. I took a close-up of the Pig in a window for you.

RE: Mixing it up a bit. - 12/13/2010 5:13:15 PM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline         Hi everyone, Thanks for the nice compliments on my Display Case. I like to change things up every now and then. I have a woodstove in the same room, so they needed a dusting anyway. The only problem now is I have no more room in my case. I learned alot building this one though, when I build another, it should be easier. It is backlit, but I cant seem to get the hang of pictures with it lit up.  The Bottles come out washed out, or with a yellow cast to the picture. Anyone know any tricks with backighting on?   Hey Surfaceone, I will try to post some close ups of my Colognes, I have another dozen or so that arent pictured. Thanks again for the nice compliments. _____________________________ Collector of Half Pint Mineral Waters, Pontiled Colognes, Odd Colored Violin Bottles, as well as whatever I like at the time.

RE: Mixing it up a bit. - 12/19/2010 6:49:35 PM    beendiggin Posts: 3005 Joined: 6/30/2005 Status: offline Either way they look great! I'm always rearranging my collection for the same reasons. I think I just like handling them. I've probably mixed them around 100 times. Nice collection! _____________________________ Paul (in reply to stephengray) Post #: 19

RE: Mixing it up a bit. - 12/20/2010 11:53:26 AM    botlenut Posts: 466 Joined: 9/6/2007 From: Hadley, New York Status: offline Stephengrey, No, my Troy Hagen isnt pontiled, but its in a nice lighter cobalt. Great bottles, one of my favorites in form. There's some great bottles from Troy New York. beendiggin, yeah, I agree its fun to mix things up, and then you notice the contrasting shapes, colors, and details of each one more. I have some good close-up shots of my Colognes I will try to put up soon. Thanks for checking them out, and weighing in, on how it looks. < Message edited by botlenut -- 12/20/2010 11:54:38 AM > _____________________________ Collector of Half Pint Mineral Waters, Pontiled Colognes, Odd Colored Violin Bottles, as well as whatever I like at the time.
