Readers of my blog or who have visited my shops in the past know that I like to make art and jewelry with rather strange or unconventional items. I had the random idea quite a while back to try and create a piece with bottled water caps. Now, Bob and I go through a lot of bottled water, especially now that we've both stopped drinking sodas and energy drinks--three weeks now and counting! So I began collecting a metric ton of these caps that I've been hoarding away for some future bizarro project, whatever it would turn out to be.

And so I bring you, Caps I. I painted two layers of light and dark blue paint on a square of corrugated card board. The caps were given swirls of green, aqua and pale blue acrylics and glued to the board. Yes, it's weird, I know, but also pop-art-ish and groovy at the same time. Plus I recycled!
