Excerpt
from the New York Times
On the Web, Wine Today, by Kathleen Buckley
"...What to do with the
foil, cork
and wire cap ... There is always
the tendency to want to
save these
as a memory of the event. While
it
is sweet, it does not
enhance the
home décor any more than colored water does in clear
Appalachian
glass bottles. There are a few exceptions.... American
artist Ken Elliott
makes striking abstract collages
using pastels,
oils and the foil
from the Champagne bottle."
