RICKS BOTTLE ROOM.COM

Hello Rick

I just thought I might say hello here onthe blog and do a Guest post' God willing you wont find it offensive or bann me but you are of course free to edit me however I dont know if that's possible.

Just so everyone at home knows, I'm the author of Dumpdiggers which is a low tech treasure hunters journal about researching and recovering old glass bottles and historic objects buried deep in century old dumps.  But lately it has been more like decades old vintage thrift stores and shops cause Im getting too old to shovel all day long... and frankly. attic bottles are more appealing . Attic Bottles have got my attention again - collecting bottles in the box with printed matrerials and contents intact. That's a parure in the bottle collecting niche.

I attended 2011 ARTFEST at the Distillery District in Toronto last week and wrote a long piece on how Recycled Materials Art  has really taken over the indepedent scene.  It fits with environmentalism and 'green art' and its my belief that it will impell old glass bottle prices higher.

Here is a horse made entirely from agricultural farm impliments and early Canadian tractor parts. This is art.

Here the horse has defeated the machine and indeed has returned , bulletproof

This piece is KC and it embodies lean manufacturing . The ultra modern science of making things better, with less and less waste, returns the perfect farm tool, in the shape of a horse.

I'm really on a roll this morning, and really tearing up the net and leaving a lot of comments and queries on forums and in blogs all up and down the Dumpdiigers World.  Joining this prestigious bastion of botlle collecting lore and literature is like finding a torpedo at the bottom of the hole.
