From the Artist, Keith Brown: "Here's some pictures of a bottle I was commissioned to do for a lady and her favorite dog 'Rex". It is inside a "Woodford Reserve" bottle 9 1/2 inches tall by 5 inches on the outside with a 3/4 inch neck opening. There was no glue used, all connections were done with wooden pegs and wire keeper pins. The picture is sandwiched between the two sides as can be seen in the picture. One side of the picture is her dog "Rex" and on the back of the picture is a saying she wanted done. I made a 'keeper pin' jig to make the keeper clips. A small saw is used to open the hole into a slot for the keepers to fit. There are 8 wooden frame pieces, 4 wooden pegs, 4 wire 'stops' in one end of each of the pegs and 4 more keeper clips. There are 16 holes in the frame pieces and 8 small holes in the 4 pegs. Each piece of wire used is about 3 inches long and there are 6 of them making 2 feet of wire."
