      I was on the other side... I thought the put the ship inside and then fused the bottle-bottom on. Edited: turns out that cutting off the bottle, inserting the ship, and then gluing the bottom back on is actually one of the methods.

      omg that's what I thought too! Was convinced the builder has really nimble and precise hands to manipulate the tools thru the small bottle opening in order to build the ship from scratch inside the bottle. Seriously it is NOW that I know they make the masts collapsible in order to pull off the stunt.

      @@grapeeggplant3863 Hence the impressiveness of hearing about someone making a ship in a bottle. I'm sure it's not literally impossible, they have tools and stuff for surgeons to operate inside of a person doing little more than a sliver of a cut to put their tools in, I'm sure someone could do something inside of a bottle.

    As a kid I had no idea how people made these so I came up with two explanations.
    1. They just cut the bottle in half, put the ship inside, and glued the glass together.
    2. The ship was collapsible like a pop-up book and was jammed through the opening of the bottle and would unfold once inside.

    • @angrypotato_fz
      @angrypotato_fz 6 місяців тому +83

      Crafts involve deep concentration, to the point that many craftsmen enter a meditative state while in "the zone." They are so focused that the logical, verbal and the non-verbal parts of the brain work as one.
      Making crafts is a good way to find deep thought.
      There's this book called "Meaning in Technology" by Arnold Pacey (IIRC) that goes more in depth about that topic among others.

    From a painter’s perspective: try to improve your colors for the ocean/sea by adding more brownish grey and per haps a bit of green. It will make your bottles look even better.
    Other tip: perhaps experiment with colored glass. It can give a mysterious image.
