We certainly didn’t think of our entry as a “Masterpiece,” at least not in the classic sense of that word. After all, underneath all that creativity lies yards and yards of duck tape, pints of glue, dozens of bubble wands, and at least a gazillion tiny glass seed beads in every conceivable shade of brown. And instead of using fancy, natural fiber brushes, wooden toothpicks and a hot glue gun were the perfect tools for transforming that old pink bike into an “ArtCycle.”
After months of bead-painting, duck-taping, and spray painting, “Bubblin’ With Joy” finally made her debut at Columbia Art League’s premier ArtCycle Parade last weekend. The Art League’s contest rules were simple: transform a working bicycle into moveable art.
We think our all-primped-up little banana-seat bike showcased all the whimsy, fun, and intricate beauty of the precious children who cross our threshold everyday at Granny’s House… and so did the ArtCycle Contest judges.
“Bubblin’ With Joy” was awarded the Grand Prize!
