Hey Bill, Don't be surprised if you end up digging big holes for her to get in and pull all the goodies out while you dig her another.LoL

It's probably an acquired taste, Ed... But I kinda like it... Maybe it would work better on unembossed bottles?

I'm kinda fond of my cute little painted schoolhouse inks...

Very nice inkys. Did you paint them? I have painted and decorated many of the "non-keepers" that we have dug. I give them away. Lots of my friends wifes really love them to put on a window or in a bathroom. I oil paint on canvas so this is kind of a fun mix and match hobby to go along with my bottle digging.

Yeah... It's a great way to use and appreciate the common and/or damaged pieces we run across...

Actually, I bought the inks... A guy at a bottle show said he came into a hoard of schoolies... Some were intact, but most had cracks and chips, so those he painted and sold for cheap... I like 'em, and keep up the painting... on glass and canvas...

PS... I thought about scoring some damaged onions and having my wife (she's the artist in the family) paint scenes on those...
