I couldn't be more proud to present...my Winedow, the product of many months of pondering, pent up enthusiasm*, experimentation, and hope. It turned out great and I can't wait to get it installed in my cabin and see it in the wild.
As you might have guessed from the ever-so-clever name, it is a window made of wine bottles. I have heard of (and even seen) a few of these in the real world, but nothing exactly like what I wanted, so I had to just wing it. I've briefly outlined the steps I used below. If you are wanting to try this yourself, please feel free to contact me with more questions.

Credit where credit is due... ************************ on Thu 12th Apr, 2012 01:45 am PDT Horge said: I've seen the wine bottle effect installed in a straw-bale house in AZ, but I have to say yours looks much nicer. The one I saw was just a few bottles stuck in between bales and not as a full on window. Which side goes outside the cabin? Any way you could magnify incoming sunlight to create a stronger light? ************************ |
