This was my entry for Craftster's recent monthly challenge #107: "Bottled Up". As you've doubtlessly already deduced from the title of said competition, the object was to make a piece of artwork utilizing some kind of bottle.

While trying to come up with an idea for a project, I looked at the various bottles littered around the house, to see if any of the shapes/colors would inspire me. In addition to those normal vessels, I recalled that I also had some miniature perfume/makeup bottle accessories, from various dolls, so I dug out the Ziplock bag that they were stored in and had a look. In particular, I focused on three items that came with Mattel's 2005 My Scene: Goes to Hollywood Barbie. As I inspected them, it occurred to me that the translucent pink bottle resembled the shape of a woman's legs and torso in a gown, and thus, the idea for this project was born.
