Bottle Cap Portrait

Bottle Cap Portrait, Charleston, S.C.

I reckon you really are famous when someone takes the trouble to do a portrait in bottle caps. I have featured a few of these giant portraits before. This one was in the window of Michael Mitchell gallery on King St. 

I know Molly B. Right was the artist on ones I've seen before and it looks like she did this one as well. I happened upon a web site featuring images of her other pieces and am blown away! Check this out.

Bottle Cap Clyburn

James Clyburn, Bottlecap Art, Charleston, S.C.

Is it the ultimate status symbol? Are you really a "somebody" when someone makes an image of you out of hammered bottle caps? If so, U.S. Congressman James Clyburn has arrived. I spotted this one inside an MUSC building yesterday. This piece is by artist Molly B Right who used 2,500 to 3,000 bottle caps for each image.

No one has offered to make me in bottle caps yet so perhaps I should start saving them myself in case I need to do a self portrait. Heheh.
