See these amazing sequins? They are made from gelatin, from the beginning of the 19th century. From the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.
Would love to use them, although you can’t use the fabric in heat or in rain, they look amazing.

Bottle in the form of a shoe
anonymous, c. 1675 - c. 1700
“This striking object is a cross between a whale and a shoe with a high heel. It lacks only the opening for the foot. In fact, it is actually a bottle made of leather: the tail is the stopper. Because of its shoe shape, the bottle is thought to have been a showpiece or masterpiece for a cobblers’ guild.”
