Bottle Wall Construction
A building construction style which usually uses 1l glass bottles (although mason jars, 1/2l glass jugs, ... may be used as well) as masonry units and binds them using adobe, sand, cement, stucco, clay, plaster, mortar or any other joint compound to result in an intriguing stained-glass like wall. An alternative is to make the bottle wall from 1/2l glass jugs filled with ink and set them up by supporting them between 2 windows.

Famous quotes containing the words bottle, wall and/or construction:
“I fasted for some forty days on bread and buttermilk
For passing round the bottle with girls in rags or silk,
In country shawl or Paris cloak, had put my wits astray,
And what’s the good of women for all that they can say
Is fol de rol de rolly O.”
—William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

cut so small in the wall where
the vision which echoes loneliness
brings a scent of wild flowers in the wood.”
—Robert Creeley (b. 1926)
“The construction of life is at present in the power of facts far more than convictions.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)
