Our new buggy
Monday, June 1, 2009 at 8:21AM 
We are deep in the work of creating our Art Prize project. Cameron and Rachel VanDyke have come alongside our family to be our artistic collaborators in this venture. Our plan is to make a sort of mobile art studio modeled after a gypsy wagon which will be filled with our artwork. When completed we hope to pull it to an out door venue with either a horse, bicycles or people. We also plan to pitch at least one tent that we can use for hospitality and art work shops during the first week of the Art Prize event. Also we hope to have performances of music and poetry at our encampment.
The picture here is of the Amish buggy we purchased last week. We have since removed the riding cab portion and our designing an enclosed wagon that will be built up on the chassis of the buggy. We have a long way to go until we are ready to pull it down town and we would love your thoughts and help as we tug this crazy idea out of our collective heads and into some kind of physical reality with in the time of the Art Prize deadlines.

How wonderfully creative...can't wait to see the finished product. If you haven't checked out this blog yet, I think this is one you would enjoy. They just did a show with Gypsy wagons AND they are Gypsys themselves and the art is amazing it's at:

Have a great day:)
Nice concept...I hope you make it...I wish you the best during the contest
How great! I worked on the interior of an antique gypsy wagon for a client some years past, so I can totaly imagine it.
Can't wait to SEE it!
What a completely cool idea! I sure wish I could be there in person to see the finished project. I sure do miss being able to just drop by to the Beerhorst household.
Best wishes!
I think the buggy is fantastic.....but then again you are creative so I have come to expect something completely unique! Let me know if I can help with anything.
