I am crazy for bottle walls and buildings! I have been saving up glass to do one in my backyard to partition the chicken territory from the patio area.
I visited East Jesus at Slab City this past spring. They have a fabulous bottle wall going on there, and just used Ready Mix to slap it together. Lacking a source for cob and being kinda spontaneous with my art supplies, I think I may do the same. :)
I highly recommend visiting Ventura. It seems to have an artistic vibe, and the pub crawl was delicious.
Sounds good. I have been there a few times, but haven't traveled much lately. this might be an inspiration.....
