Ball Joint Doll Elfish Apothecary Chest Complete

Whew, that was a hard one!  I think I did ok considering I started with nothing but some sheets of wood and built this from the ground up :)  And I'm proud of how it turned out, although my pictures are crappy like usual (awesome camera of mine) :(   Anyway, this is how it started:

and this is how it ended:



Now no one get excited, because these are LARGE potion bottles compared to what we all collect!  The tallest is around 3 1/2 inches tall so not 1/12 scale.  And the sand timer?  Over 4 inches long!  This is just a sample of the bottles I made for this, there are so many more.
