Home to Roost.: bottles

Bonus Bottle!

Because of the way I'd done the illustrated messages, pretty much all of the ones I put into the bottles and sent were just copies, so the last bottle and the message that went with it was just a note to explain this to my tutor, Martin.

And the final packaging!

Message in a bottle six.

Why its great to be driving.

And the packaging:

And the illustrated message in pen and ink:

Message in a bottle five.

Why Alfie and Billy Love Norfolk.

And the packaging:

And the illustrated message was a little book I made:

Message in a bottle four.

Things found on Brancaster Beach, Norfolk.

The illustrated 'message' inside was an embroidery I did of the creatures and things found on the beach:

And finally the packaging:

Message in a bottle three.

A combined trip to the National Potrait Gallery and London Zoo.

The illustrated message inside was a series of linocuts combining portraits from the gallery and the animals in the zoo that the portraits reminded me of:

Packaging:

Message in a bottle number two.

This one was: Things lost in the move.

Old House.

New House.

To start off the second year and over the summer our tutor asked us to send him six 'postcards' relating to what we were up to. These could be anything and everything but packaging was also to be considered.

I decided to do 6 messages in bottles. I took some old antique medicine (and some poison) bottles painted on them and then put a illustrative message inside. Then (mainly because they had to be sent in the post) These were put into some cardboard decorated boxes and packed with sand. Phew!

The first one I sent was: Visitors to my garden.
