There should be a separate category for this title! It started like this:  And ended like this: TA DA!  A LOT of thought and work went into this floor! Camias Jewelry Designs (Facebook page) "Thank you, Everybody, who came to my page and enjoyed either my work or the penny floor! I posted it on Instagram, which is linked to this page, and I neglected to turn it off here, but what a pleasant surprise to see so many likes and shares! In a nutshell, the penny floor was a fun and cathartic project which I did back in 2015. I was inspired to repost because I saw Kat Von D's version. This penny floor being 5 years old now has held up wonderfully, for those who ask, and there is no stink as some of you have questioned. I used approximately 7500 pennies, sorted the old from the new, glued in place, (I DID change the center a few times), then when I liked what I had, I grouted the floor, cleaned it up, then put a resin coat on top. I've got a few kids and it still looks in top shape. Hope this helps answer a few questions! I appreciate the kind words most of you had contributed and I'm happy you enjoyed my little home project." |

THAT'S the kind of post which would fit a new topic.
It must have taken a long time and/or many people worked on this car.

I have often said that anything imaginable, use or abuse, has been done with coins, especially the one cent coin. This is further proof! I have often wondered if the shiny ones remain so, and it appears that with a lacquer coating they do.

Neat floor. Cool stuff! I would guess that the car in the second post should have been a Mercury Lincoln instead of a Cadillac.
If it was an auto accident with another car. The other driver could say he ran into some money.

I only do smaller projects. Like coasters, or maybe a table. Looking good! |

It is really difficult to understand where all time to do that comes from. Now try to figure out how those will fit into a banks tellers window.  |

Here's some art from my bathroom - sadly it doesn't fit on the actual toilet, so on the wall it hangs  |
