it all started last summer when i bought a cheap $7.99 coffee table from savers and made a plea to anyone who drinks bottled beverages to save their caps. for months i would randomly received a zip lock baggy from a weekend party one day, or two forgotten caps from someone's jeans pocket another.
then one thunderstormy night i sat down in front of all my stacks of organized bottle caps and decided to go at it. i was going to first sketch it out and then lay out rough borders with the caps, but instead i just did it. and here's the final product.
note: i still need to replace some of the bottle caps around the whale so they are all darker colors since those seem to look the best.
PS: i have to give a shout out to jennifer of new home economics for suggesting the twitter fail whale idea!
I LOVE IT! Now, what am I going to do with the gallon-size bag of bottlecaps that I've saved for you... Hmmm...
