wishing bottles...

i have wanted to start blogging and writing again for a long time, 
but have found it so hard.

 i lost my dedication and my inspiration,
when my dog Lucy died.

recently,
 i have found new creative juices, 
my muse being my niece.

so now it's time to share...

here it goes....

 lately my mind has been dreaming

about having a full moon party,

wishing on stars, and dancing in the rain...

with all of these thoughts,
 i have been wanting to make 

a wishing bottle....

having this on my list of ideas

and having a date with my love Quinn,

what is a better time than today?

WISHING BOTTLE...

PART ONE

INGREDIENTS...

 my thoughts are this...

we wish on a star,

we wish when we blow a dandelion,

we hope to discover a message in a bottle one day...

and you all know my love for fairies...

so the rest is my wishing bottle...

 i have a collection of bottles,

of all shapes and sizes...

any clear bottle will do...

glitter is VERY important, after all glitter IS fairy dust

and we all know fairy's can make wishes come true...

gems are also relevant, after all we are all 

special unique gems

and have a very distinct 

sparkle...

seeds are also important, to represent the blowing of dandelions...

blowing our seeds forward, casting our wishes, to prosper

and bloom...

a feather, 

a feather represents our wishes

have wings.

wings to fly and soar 

to the place where wishes come true.

and now of course your wish...

wish really hard and

write with intent...

 i like to burn the edges....

burning the edges creates a shape of its own,

it cleanses the air surrounding the wish,

and it looks pretty...

 roll your wish into a tight scroll and tie with a ribbon

to keep it safe...

anything else you want to add is completely personal.

my niece Quinn added a sticker of candy

because candy is a perfect wish!

last step of creating your bottle, 

sealing it with wax...

this takes time...

add the wax slowly

as much as you like, 

and seal in your wish...

and here is my wish bottle for my 

mom and dad...

wish:

health-

*the level of functional efficiency

*freedom of illness

*being complete

of course tied with a beautiful ribbon,

the bow and knot 

also represent

the sealing and sincerity in which

this bottle and wish was created...

here is Quinn's bottle.

wish:

*health of her family

*to find her prince

(one day)

Quinn helped me with all of these decisions...

what color glitter, what color ribbon, gems and of course

the blessing, prayer,

and circle of energy...
