Gone fishin'

I've been invaded by bottle caps! Thousands in my shed, hundreds in my living room...

I am collaborating with John T. Unger on his bottle cap fish mosaics. This is one we worked on together, a happy lil' brown trout (a custom order).

These are so much fun to make, but they really are very labor intensive (don't try this at home, kids!). I've finally stopped whacking my thumb, that's progress...

This guy is one I have been working on this week. The body will be composed of red Coke caps, the face will be Beck's silver caps. The tail and fins are cut from the hood of an old car.

Already planning ahead for the next ones. The fish will be sold soon on John's site and also in select galleries. I'll post what fish are currently for sale and locations to purchase them as soon as they become available.

Rock on, Darlin'. Can't wait to see it in person this weekend.

Check out the Fall Fest in Clinton. People will freak out over that. Very cool idea, do I need to start drinking bottle beer now?
