Antique Schnapps Bottle and Glencairn Whisky Glass

A fairly new whisky glass and a very old schnapps bottle.  This was painted in the middle of the night, and as it was technically executed on both Saturday and Sunday, I'm hoping it counts for both days.

Plastic Skull

A life-sized plastic skull bought from the Melbourne Uni bookshop.  They're sold for the benefit of medical students, but are thankfully a fraction of the cost of the plaster equivalent from the art shop.

Roses and an empty carafe, alas (perhaps it would be appropriate to have filled it with Rosé).

Garlic Bulb and Milk Jug

According to Google, garlic milk is a medicinal drink.  I hope I don't get sick, because I don't fancy it.

Copper Vase and Zucchini

Vases are for flowers, zucchinis are delicious; but if you cook a zucchini, you have to do the dishes.
