Bottle Art Wall Update

2 years ago we began the process of building a special glass art wall for our lovely (Heated) Soma Outdoor Shower (SOS!)

Thanks to several friends (who prefer to remain anonymous LOL) Soma Ranch has collected over 600 bottles so far.

We now have more than 300 bricks and are in search for the final “Special” Bricks, including:

• unusual bottle bottoms,

• cool colors,

• unique shapes,

• larger size

If you’d like to donate let us know. Whatever bottle type, you’d need to provide 2 identical. i.e. we cut and then connect 2 bottles to make the brick (they need to match).

Here’s the process:

1. friends drop off bottles!

2. cut bottles down to 3”

3. rinse, dry, collate similar sized bottles

4. duck-tape 2 bottles to make “bricks”

5. stack glass bricks in cement

6. use special shaped bottles details

7. create 5.5” thick wall

8. take a shower and enjoy!

9. enjoy a glass of wine

When you rinse off under blue sky or twinkling stars in the outdoor shower, you can enjoy a “wall of art” with lots of glass circles that provide privacy, light and beauty all at the same time!

Do you have bottles you’d like to donate?

• We particularly like LIGHT colored bottles (clear, light green, light brown)

• Some blue and red glass bottles would be spectacular.

• Green beer bottles are much appreciated.

• it’s handy (yet not required) when the bottles come in pairs.

Here’s where some of our inspiration from: insteading.com/blog/glass-bottle-walls/
