A Colorful Alternative To Curtains

I decided against the usual window treatment for this kitchen window. I live in an apartment, so the windows are cheap. I wanted to try to take the attention away from the ugly windows. So I came up with a fun alternative to curtains.
Here is the window before:
Here is the window before:
As you can see, boring and ugly. It looks out on my patio. I'm lucky to have a large patio with a privacy fence where I can garden in containers. But right now, everything out there is dead and boring as well.
I went through my vintage linens and chose some to iron.
I had all these colored bottles I'd been collecting. So I lined them up along the window sill.
I just love to see the sun shining through my colored bottles. It's like a rainbow. Or stained glass.
Enjoyed the project?

Have a question about this project?
I have double windows and no window ledge. I'm thinking of opening the inner window and placing colored bottles, etc. between the two windows. Think that would work????
Does anyone know how to color glass bottles like this? Something that would just tint the glass.
