My niece sent me a link to a pretty cool web site, I have listed it at the bottom. One of the amazing works of art was an exhibit she had seen, probably during the Cows On Parade Exhibit in Chicago in 1999.When Detroit wanted to do a fundraiser between the Detroit YMCA and the Windsor Endowment for the Arts, I submitted a design. This design was sponsored by General Motors and purchased by a private buyer who donated it to the Detroit Opera Theatre. I haven't seen it there yet but was told it is displayed in their parking structure. These photos show two sides of the car while on display on the Detroit People Mover prior to the auction.
This side was a wonderfully in love couple with a very smooth dance move. The next photo was inspired by a photo of my husband at his senior prom - donning a John Travolta pose.
I estimated there were over 170,000 pieces of glass in this piece. There was a mirrored dancing ball on the top of the car. Iwill post other pictures of the back and drivers side at a later date.I always wanted to mosaic a car. Actually, I wanted to mosaic a running vehicle so I could drive it in parades and attend Art Car functions. Once I did this, I lost that desire for a while but would probably do it again if I got the right vehicle.
