Hi Liz,

Well, today I pulled all of the nails out, not liking what I had previously
created.

Another trip to the recycling center today, this time focusing on large
bottomed bottles for my other project. I'm just amazed at the colors!
Lime green, golden yellow, bright yellow, olive, orange, oh, oh, oh!
Kahlua bottles give off a glorious orange hue when sunlight hits the ends.

I had to laugh when sorting colors, because as I held them up to the sunlight,
words just popped out of my mouth, such as "Green Kool-Aid" and
"Limey green". The one I cracked up over was "Urine Yellow". Perhaps I
should refrain from using that term. LOL

Why, oh why can't folks drink more blue bottled stuff? ;-)
Can't find Ty Nant or Arizona Tea around here. Bummer!
We may visit Tulsa Sunday, so I'll have a chance to check out a
few stores up there with my fingers crossed.

The more I think about it, the more I may just make a spiral tree using extra
long nails. That way I will complete a tree using fewer materials with a unique
impression and ideas for yet another tree.

Now if I could only think of something fab to do with all the Ramune
bottles my son rescues for me!
