The End

The Doors Blue bus(approx. 14" x 8" x 4.5" deep)


"This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end...

The Doors The End
...it hurts to set you free...

The Doors
This is the end."

Jim Morrison

Thank you for riding my blue beaded bus, and enjoy your day:)

I have found words:
I would love to have this bus on a SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRT! I would buy it immediately from Cafepress!!! With the quote
"This is the end
Beautiful friend
This is the end
My only friend, the end..."!!!

beadexplorer said...

Sorry, me again. Also these lyrics would be cool on the shirt:
THE BLUE BUS IS CALLING US!!!

;)

Love it!!!

crymson said...

haha, beadexplorer, you make me smile. Congrats LB on this huge accomplishment. The bus looks amazing, and from my experience with the fire truck I'm sure it a million times cooler in person. Thank you for sharing this piece with us.

This is fantastic,all the work and fine detail you put in is superb. I have enjoyed watching this come to life.

Awwww.... danke=:)

Papercat said...

Wonderful art! Thanks for sharing!

mywa said...

incredibly beautiful.
I thought Jim Morrison died in a bathtub in Paris.

The Lone Beader said...

Mywa, thanks for your comment! You are correct, so some say. Jim was found dead in a bathtub. There has always been suspicion as to whether he actually died there or not. And, many people thought that he hadn't actually died. No one (except for his girlfriend) ever saw him in the casket....

My blue bus represents the beautiful journey of sex, drugs, and rock-n-roll that Jim Morrison took to get to his ultimate destination.

This is a phenomenal piece of art. I went to your web site to see the rest of your work and am blown away by the quality of your creations. Your web site has been added to "my favorites" page so that I will have an immediate link to see your future work.

Thank you, Kathryn! Please stop by anytime! This is a fun hangout for anyone who loves beads, art and music. :D
