Progress

A small piece of gauze is placed on a plate, sprinkled with salt and sprinkled with ink or blue. Ink and blue are not diluted, because after drying, the salt turns pale by several tones. Lifting the corners, the gauze is transferred to a double layer of newspaper and left to dry in a warm place (possible on a battery).

The label is removed from the bottle, the vessel itself is washed and dried. A dry bottle through a funnel is filled a quarter with uncolored salt. The container is tilted so that the salt has shifted to one side. Rolled paper is inserted into the bottle, then a funnel and dry blue or green salt is poured in an even layer of 1 cm. Without returning the vessel to a vertical position, ordinary light salt is added, filling the bottle by 2/3 of the volume.

Then, placing the bottle vertically, colored salt is again poured into it. The thickness of the layer is chosen as desired. The remaining volume is filled with light salt.

Sawdust is mixed with PVA glue until a homogeneous mass of the consistency of thick sour cream is obtained. The shells are filled with glue mass so that it reaches the edges, but does not protrude. The bottom of the bottle is decorated by gluing shells with a solution to the glass. The smallest shells glue the lid of the vessel.
