So I've acquired this liquor bottle of perfect shape and I've a dim idea of putting something inside it, and I go onto the net searching for some inspiration.
Now I'm thinking of a brain, perhaps, with blinking neural synapses, or maybe a beating human (ish) heart, or a tentacled octopus. It's the perfect bottle. But I need some tips on getting it into the bottle, and so I'm searching online. Now there are plenty of impossible bottles, but most seem to take the height of the craft to be a deck of cards or pack of cigarettes placed inside, which is (dare I say) a little bit boring....
But I'll share my inspiration here:
Links: Wikipedia on Impossible Bottles, Impossibottles, Some rather dodgy looking Nigerian on YouTube trying to sell the secret of getting lots of twigs inside a bottle, (Probably an "honest living" if you're from Nigeria and on the computer....), Folk Art in Bottles, John Rausch, and the Humble Jeff Scanian. No, really, look at his photo - what was he like as a child bringing home art projects from school?

Note: In the event your browser doesn't support WebGL (doesn't render the fractals properly), check out this site for advice on how to enable it in your browser, or do a Google Search for more precise instructions.
