Ride a Bike

Though I prefer a perfect spring day for a bike ride, some of my friends are willing to pedal off any day of the year.  The map for this piece was found in a garage of an estate sale and I got it for a dime. I'm pretty sure the gals at the checkout didn't see the beauty in this water damaged atlas that I was so excited to find. Notice the stamping on the bottom of this map of Illinois.  I had a great time painting the gray highlights onto the bike.  It really gave it wonderful dimension.  I am getting so excited for Friday night! This past month has flown by and it's almost time to redecorate Kelly's Bakery & Café.
