Ship in the bottle is out – View in a water bottle is in
While waiting in San Diego for the ferry to take us over to Coronado, we decided that if we weren’t eating just yet, we at least needed to get a drink.
Touristy spots generally mean insane high prices for silly items like bottles of water. We were thirsty, though, so no real harm done.
I was particularly excited when the awesome Lisa from Anthony’s Fish Grotto greeted us with a huge smile, took our order, and when she passed over what I thought were simple bottles of water, pointed out how you could see the San Diego skyline in the bottle.
Wait, what? Really?
Sure enough, there it was! And as we drank the water, I was particularly delighted to see that it looked like the picture water was moving with the real water.
Yes, I’m that easily delighted, hehe.
And I was so excited by my funky bottle of water (shush it :P), that I stepped back over and asked her to take a picture. Remember, I was just at a conference where pictures were nonstop, so I’m sure it was way weirder for her than it was for me, but I was thrilled, hehe.
Thank you, Lisa!
When life gives you bananas, write secret messages!
Curved yellow fruits…er, I mean…bananas are such a cheap fruit to find year round, but frankly, they can get boring fast.
With kids going back to school and lunchboxes waiting to be packed 5 days a week for the next 9 months, this is a great way to make the banana a little more fun.
I found them on Laura’s site and she found them elsewhere, but I’ll link to her because she has a nice tutorial on how to do it with several other pictures.
It’s super easy, though…..just poke your message or pictures into the banana peel with a toothpick and by lunchtime, you’ll be able to see it show through. Plain banana in the morning….secret message by noon, woo.
And if you’re feeling extra artsy, don’t be afraid to bust out full sketches like this:
