Now is the perfect time for more Medicine Bottle Beach Art. Enjoy!

The last time I published my medicine bottle beach art was almost 2 years ago — during the height of Covid lockdowns. It’s time for more, at the start of this school year. We need some creativity with found objects and fresh air!

Now, schools will be in person, thankfully. Let’s start if off with art and smiles.

Making these pieces has been great fun. Collecting bottles at home and from friends; walking the beach, looking for shells, drift wood, other found objects, and even sand, on the streets… and then putting two and two and two together.

I hope they inspire you to be creative and flexible (you never knew what you’ll find), to enjoy colors and shapes, to find possibilities in the strangest places — medicine bottles , who would have thought!— and to put two and two and two more together — medicine bottles at the beach. Enjoy the driftwood, sea shells, colorful bottles, and imagine the smell of the sea.

Here’s to a happy, creative, flexible, colorful, full-of-possibilities, and successful new school year.
