This is also a part of a series of designs I'm started working up for the Taos town's celebration of the 40th anniversary of Dennis Hopper's "Easy Rider." In 1969, we were still in the grips of the Vietnam War. It just so happens that an anniversary piece also fits in with with the Etsy Beadweaver's April Challenge.

Hopper lives here in Taos, and the town is gearing up for a summer-long festival spanning many of the museums and galleries. Taos has a long history of being a mecca for artists and hippies.

Made of rifle casings I found while hiking near the Rio Grande Gorge, seed beads, lampworked glass flower buds and lampworked spacer beads (stuffed into the bottom of the casing, difficult to see in the photos, but they are PINK!)

I am a Self Representing Artist which means I make all my own work. This piece is a one of a kind (OOAK), but willb e part of a series.

Pictures were taken in a table top photo studio. Colors may slightly vary on different monitors.
