Ten MINI Art Cars in New Book: Wash Me

Art can take our imagination for a ride-especially when it’s put on four wheels!! Mixing a more traditional portion of artistic talent with the beauty of mechanics takes my imagination (and that of many creative kids like me) for a joy ride. I admire the time and talent of artists who some how envision a masterpiece that moves.

Auto Artist at Work

Any artist knows that the paint for an auto and the paint for a canvas are two distinctly different substances. The way they are used and the effects they give are on opposite sides of the spectrum- not to mention that the paint better stick to that Cooper when it zooms at 100 mph. The guys and girls behind these are new kinds of artists. Welcome to modern times.

Recycling and Restyling Unwanted Clothes

The first time I hear about recycling fashion I was skeptical, but if plastic water bottles can turn into carpets and clothing, then why not? What would it be like to work on that kind of conveyor belt-receiving old, used, or unwanted clothes, accessories, and ehemm “toys” that can be sold or recreated to be a hot item?

“I’ve got my jacket that I’ve salvaged from the conveyor belt and we are on our way t the design studio to get some tips from the experts to find out about how to customize out clothes and how to basically breathe new life into ruined broken stained old clothes.”

“Leather is the best, it’s the nicest thing to play with…it’s more versatile than other things (when it comes to creating new and desirable fashion).”

Look at the bed sheet lining that was turned into a “frock,” as the English say, with a nautical theme and feminine style! I would like a lesson too!
