bottle slumping



bottle slumping is merely melting a bottle in the kiln until it relaxes to a flat state. They're so cool. Imagine the possibilities these bottle.The appletini bottle slumps such that it has lovely ridges all the way around it. I have adorned it with beads made by smokeylady54 who sells her beads on etsy. www.smokeylady54@etsy.com cute lady bug. I see this on might dresser filled with earrings from the day. I empty mine once a month or so. The other bottle is from Perrier, bottled seltzer water...yuck!! I don't like it but the bottle slumps very nicely. They're commonly used for snack plates. Imagine serving your guests cheese and crackers on a serving platter like this. It's just fun. I also see this to incorporate into a wine cheese and cracker gift basket. You tell me your ideas on it...I'd be interested. I'll be posting and selling them in my etsy store pronto.

I love slumped bottles! But I for one, had no idea what they were called and two didn't know how they were created.

They're great!
