First set of photos below: One bottle is flattened, one is sagged. I used water soluble Raised Base for Gold and then fired:

These are some of the cheese boards I made by flattening wine bottles. In this case, no molds are used, the bottles are placed on a prepared kiln shelf and fast fired to cone 014.
After firing, I sandblasted the designs, then added cork to the bottoms and tied a few strands of raffia to the "bottle neck" for a nice finish. |
