Neelie

 I have a beautiful Victorian autograph book that once belonged to a girl named Neelie. 

 It's filled with the most exquisite flouncy script! 

While reading the messages written by her friends I imagined what her life may have been like.

The pages to this book became the base for this bottle.

Her name is Miss Neelie Crane.

She is a pretty girl, with long blond hair.

I imagine she liked flowers & loved dancing in pink satin slippers.

And buttons & bows.

I'm dedicating this bottle to Joanna Pierotti,

a teacher, friend & inspiration to me. 

She has a tender heart & enormous talent. 

Joanna has contributed to many books about mixed media art & her workshops at Moss Hill Studio are amazing!

(It's on my side-bar) 

Her altered bottle workshop opened my eyes to so much!

If you aren't already a fan, please check out her blog!
