Absolutly loved all of the bottle-wall examples....Is there a how to build a bottle wall book or instructions available. What bottle position is best for clean insulating?! If jars are used, (jelly, peanut-butter) should the caps be put on or left open. How does this effect the strength?
Thank you, Patie

Are there any instructions on how to do this? I'd really love to try it! The technique would make an awesome garden wall.

Tribute to Minnie Evans

Fantastic stuff. I came across the Bottle Chapel at Airlie Gardens, North Carolina, a tribute to Minnie Evans, not long ago in the context of a translation about Outsider Artists. Minnie Evans was the gatekeeper of Airlie Gardens from 1949 to 1974, and is considered to be one of America’s most important visionary artists. Born in Long Creek, N.C. in 1892, Minnie’s original name was Minnie Eva Jones (no relationship to Pembroke Jones). In 1935, following a vision, Minnie Evans began to draw. Her own take on color, mysticism, and symmetry made her art unique. Minnie died in 1987 at the age of 95. The Minnie Evans Sculpture Garden and Bottle Chapel is stop nine of the garden tour, if you ever go there. The chapel was constructed by local artists as a tribute to Minnie’s life and talent.

God these are beautiful- it's something I would have included had I had a chance to build that house- I have always loved those things that went into old cellars, where the glass has usually morphed purple. Know what I'm talking about?
And that chair!
