Tiny Message in a Bottle Service

in Bottles, Featured Crafters on 19/10/10


Handmade makes the world feel more intimate and friendly.

Georgina Will

Random Facts About You?

I don't like crowds.
I do like a small gathering of friends.
Ice cream cake is yummy!
I like sitting by a log fire.



What got you started crafting?

I remember seeing the look of joy on a friends face when I gave her a gift I had made myself.



What is your source of inspiration?

Small things, old things or anything that turns my head for a second look.



What have you made recently?

I recently have been working on transcribing the letters my Great Grandfather wrote to my Great Grandmother in the 1890s. The letters are so sweet and innocent and I began to think about the lost art of letter writing and how thrilling it must have been to receive a letter back then. My messaging service is an idea that sprang from thinking about the thrill of receiving a tangible message from a friend or loved one, the mystery of finding a message in a bottle and anything miniature.

Each bottle I create is combination of these 3 things. First I work on creating a theme. For example, one of the themes is a love letter in a bottle. For each bottle I create a miniature of one of my Great Grandfather's letters, seal it with real sealing wax. I also add some hearts and sand. Each bottle is customized with your message, so when you turn the bottle, you read the message and see all the treasures inside!





Where do you sell your crafts presently?

I sell my bottles online through my website.



Why are handmade crafts important to you?

Because mass produced is so boring - where is the originality?

Handmade makes the world feel more intimate and friendly.
