The basic body is a medicine bottle with a triangular cross section, hence the triangle motif. Other bits include shirt buttons, french-fry forks, disposable wooden forks, probiotic vials, and lamp socket parts. Canopy is a trimmed-down piece of plastic blister packaging for a tube of glue. Nice shot included of the Bus cruising past one of Janet's landscape murals.

Chola
Near our house, a Chola Cuencana statue. Also farm friends, hard to discern except the just-milked cow. Chola, as used in Ecuador, refers to an acculturating indigenous woman, but not, say, someone living in Amazonia.

Dauphin
Inspired by stylized dolphin images in the heraldry of the heir-apparent to the French throne. Or as someone said, a fishing lure for Hieronymus Bosch. Soda bottle, turkey bones, disposable wooden dinner knives, snow-cone cup, drawer-pull escutcheons, rubberband.

Quicker Yet
Took less than a week. At the start all I had decided was to feature the translucent cobalt blue bottle. Other bits include clothespins, Vitamin C fizzy-pill tubes, Waffle House single-serve cream container, Epson ink-refill nozzles, valve from laundry detergent jug, compact fluorescent bulb bases, gypboard screws, windshield and pilot from the junkbox. Ended up with a Flash Gordon/ Buck Rogers vibe which was the result of the ingredients more than any design intent.
