New Bottle

I needed to make another bottle to replace the one sold in S'More Couture, the little shop where I sell some of my arts and crafts.  This one is called "Pure."  It took me a while to finish this as I was getting sick the day I made it.  So over a few days I'd add more elements until I came up with this.  The tag behind the bottle reads:
Message in the Bottle Reads:
"Whatever is true,
whatever is noble,
whatever is right,
whatever is pure,
whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable—
if anything is excellent
or praiseworthy—
think about such things.

Philippians 4:8

I used a tracing paper base and added a bordered paper with the verse printed inside, rolled it up and stuck it in the bottle and tied it with some trim.  Below is a close-up of the focal point.  The bubble is backed with an elaborate "P" (thank you,   Shabby Cottage Studio) and glitter-trimmed and gathered crepe paper back that.  A blue crystal, a key,  and an old jewelry finding with added rhinestones are the dangles.
