#1: ##19 A wine bottle - empty or filled?

Hello again! Another instance of multiple posts in 24 hrs I guess.. but well, this was a long decided project, I just had to wait for an empty wine bottle, my previous projects to get over and some free time, which happened only a few hours ago so I jumped at the opportunity!.

I wanted to have a flower vase for my dining table and I wanted to create it. If it were in my control, I would actually build my house by myself, right from making the bricks to the interiors. I like creating things (have I said that already before?)

Anyway, so I decided to paint something inspirational on the bottle. Apart from the fact that I may not have the talent to create a very fine painting, I am not into that sort of beauty. Beauty lies in inspiration and in meaning for me. So I wanted to create something "beautiful".

Challenges?
1) Thanks to Google, finding a good quote was just a matter of "searching".
2) I had to experiment with the painting material for a bit. The sharpie did not work so well at the start so started out with acrylic colours which seemed quite risky at first but eventually the "miracle" happened, the sharpie worked fine and the paint wasn't as much of a disaster as I had expected it to be.
3) Writing on a bottle such that all the text can be visible from one angle was a challenge I failed. Maybe a faint line would have helped I guess.
4) I had sorted out the layout on a paper first so avoided space crunch.
5) It took a while for me to scratch some errors off the bottle but I am happy that it worked.

And as per the ritual, here is the picture of my creation. There are two pictures so that people can read the text completely. (Refer point 3 for explanation ;))
