Many use bottles to add some colour, light and design to a wall here
and there. Below are a few examples with links to facebook.
Bottles used in walls in this way are cut and taped together
presenting the ends of the bottle on both sides of the wall
stretching across the whole thickness of the wall. Cutting the
bottle can be a bit of a challenge if you don't know the best way
to do it. As with many simple and effective techniques we can look
back to the Roman period to around AD 20 when cracking off was
invented (see the video above). You don't need a fancy turntable
to try this at home. In the video right you'll find a DIY
approach. |
