[Cob] decorative glass windows

"Also was wondering if instead of the normal size of wine bottle has
anyone  tried using the oversized budget wino sized bottles to set into a
wall?"

Wine not? Brina has a fat colored bottle enclosed by another fat clear 
bottle in her bench.

Seriously...We're thinking of embeding all sorts of odd things. Trinkets and 
non valuable minitures and such...inside of little 'windows'. It might be 
advisable to make sure these little window niches have a breather hole. 
(Like a cobbed in drinking straw.) The windows I'm speaking of would not 
view the outside...but we'll have plenty that do. Breather holes probably 
won't be necessary if the niche isn't very deep.

on
| the inside of the bottle to fill out to the necessary length.  But 
listening

would
| be a cool thing to be able to embed a homemade kaliedoscope right into the
| cob wall.  Especially in a kids room.
