Something really cool I learned about recently while researching classic cabinets of curiosity and the oddities people kept in them is the "impossible bottle". The best known version is the "ship in a bottle", but people have managed to stuff everything from playing cards to matchbooks to padlocks inside vessels whose openings are significantly narrower than the objects themselves, provoking discussion from onlookers as to how that stuff got in there in the first place! The variant that really struck my imagination was the pine cone in a bottle, and I decided to make a few available for people to add to their collections.
So I put together two larger pine cone impossible bottles, featuring Monterey pine cones, and two little vials with Western hemlock cones, one of which is also a necklace! You can find them all at the Green Wolf Etsy shop.
