Sprinter Van conversion
It has been a long time since I blogged. I miss you and it.
But after 6 weeks in Europe I came home and went to work on this little RV project.....I had a deadline. It came out so beautiful and I love driving it. It is a Euro diesel van by Mercedes.
It was my main Art project this during the summer.
Now comes the fun...the day we left for California...My trip to California was with my art friend Gay. Once we got to San Diego we visited my son went to his engagement party and had many adventures. Gay flew home and I had my next part of the trip with my husband who had concerts in California on our way home. I only just finished unpacking.

Now you can see some of the process..of making a Van into a home..RV...touring and art trip van. The van was an ugly white and we had it painted a very hip fashionable middle gray... I also had another friend build the cabinet. We paid to have lights, windows, batteries and wiring done by a RV builder. We had a welder friend build the bed frame. My part was the design, color and finally the interior walls...whew....
So here are the pictures of the project. It included spray glue, screws and various labor kinds of things....
The long ugly parts......
But when the foam and interior upholstery fabric finally where glued to the wood the beauty began.
My friend Alexi had helped me to get all the wood panels finished...but then he needed to go on to other projects.
Fortunately for me my very hard working husband stopped his music and jumped in to help me get it finished!
Next will be a few photo's of the trip...
I am taking a little break from my art to work on our music biz (booking Europe again, making posters and CD covers and finally getting the house and my studio organized. A time for this and a time for that...........
