Itty Bitty Bottle Tree

My husband and myself met at a compromise, I had purchased large wine bottles off EBay to make a bottle tree in the yard, all the bottles are green. I had difficulty finding any other color let alone dealing with my husband's expression, once I told him my plans for them.

A meeting of the minds, bitty bottles that are available in the beauty section, the gourmet section and perhaps the cooking oils, who knows...? This was hubby's idea, Ah, Ha! When I got them home though and ready to place on my tree, I noticed the blue and purple bottle was actually painted on the outside. So I clear coated them, all of them. I figured it couldn't hurt considering the harsh winters in Maine. Hummm, maybe there is an idea for the future.

I chose my pruned beech tree that is the backdrop to my corner flower bed. Here is the vision from the road. I have eight bottles in all, not included in the picture above is two clear ones. I just put them on my tree a hour ago, I imagine my son might have something to say about it when he gets off the bus. If he notices that is....

The view from my driveway. I can hardly see the blue one closest to the bottom of the tree. I plan to add more bottles as time allows me to collect them. Any ideas about the evergreen next to this tree, you can see it better in the first picture. I topped it this year and have spent several years pruning it to thicken it up, I would like to spiral it. I tried once and almost killed it.

This is my favorite way to look at my tree, from the treeline with my street as the backdrop. I can barely see the purple bottle at the top and I might rearrange them at another time. I'm giving everyone in my town, a chance to tell me about it.
Whoops! A few days later I added 3 more bottles. (shucks! I broke the yellow one!)
