Hand-etched container

This is an upcycled glass wine bottle. I cut it, dremeled the edges for smoothness, and carved 'herbs' into the side. I think it'll make a great starter or window kit for herbs, a rooting container, etc. I need some practice etching, still, but I'm pleased how it turned out for a first attempt!
