What is Bottled Up?


This was an idea for an art journal from the book, Art Journals and Creative Healing by Sharon Soneff. I loved how you could take a beverage carrier with the empty bottles and use the vessels as a container for journal entries. In this case, each of the bottles specify something that you keep "bottled up" inside, such as anxiety, unforgiveness, depression, and frustration. You can then journal on a note, roll it up, and place it inside the corresponding bottle. The book suggested using a four pack of coffee drinks; these bottles worked just as well - but the necks are slimmer...making it difficult to retrieve any notes that may be placed inside.
