Let the Seaflower
slide show begin!
In the three photos at right I began
prepping the body and applying the first of the mirror glass mosaic.
1/. After washing the virginal white
body of the raw canvas I then gave it the once over with acetone
or "liquid sandpaper". Notice the intense look on my
face!
2/. Armed with my trusty caulking gun
I am psyched to attack the hood.
3/. Once again notice the serious look
on my face as I place each of the broken mirror pieces in their
designated spaces!
Such serious devotion to the craft
is not uncommon amongst members of the art car community! I am
now well past the point of no return! Goodbye Z28! Hello Seaflower!
