picture perfect

a few days ago I received a shipment of sprayers and bottles; the bottles were slightly translucent and the sprayers had a gold-colored base, a clear cap, and white atomizer button. Surprisingly enough the bottles and sprayers (which were snugly fit) looked very good with each other. The bottles looked even better after my daughter made a label for one of them. The labels had teardrop shapes in the color of sky blue with the words 'Dew Drop' written inside of it. Here is a picture

AHEM,,,, yes, "I" did order bottles with matching tops that turned out quite nice. A ball roller top is available for the same glass bottle, which I believe would be appropriate for oil based perfumes. I was also able to find atomizer tops that are exactly the right size for the small army of 30 ml boston rounds I'm currently hoarding which are about as attractive as a bottle of cough syrup......

Our next project - by the end of the month - will probably involve developing some of the packaging ideas we've been toying with. I'm thinking about incorporating some of the tricks we picked up during our 6 month bookbinding fling a few years ago, where we learned how to hand bind and cover our own books, into attractive, sturdy and recycled/recyclable packaging. Another possibility we are considering is to incorporate some novel origami designs into some light cardboard or stiffened paper or fabric carriers for the smaller size bottles.

There certainly is a lot more involved in our perfume hobby than what goes into the bottle .
