A Bottle of Dreams

"Dreams are made of stardust, sparkles and a touch of magic." - raaen99 (your humble photographer).

 

The theme for "Looking Close on Friday" the 3rd of October is "in a bottle". I had originally submitted an image of a bottle containing brandy, but sill me, I misread that the theme required me to have something other than liquid in the bottle. I read it as, "only liquid". Let's call it a momentary lapse! Luckily, I have several bottles containing sequins that I use to bead Christmas baubles with, so I have chosen one of them, full of iridescent greenish blue sequins from the 1920s which I use as special embellishments to some of my Christmas baubles. I have photographed it against some hand printed and gilded Venetian paper I have. I hope that this is a more suitable entry. I hope you like my choice for this week's theme, and that it makes you smile!
