P.S.  We just had our opening reception for "Redemption Garden" at the SMUD Art Gallery last Thursday, and it was a water bottle cutting success!  We will likely have some photos and video to share from the reception on Saturday; please feel free to bring your pictures, videos and memories to share if you were there as well. 

It was so neat to see people get excited about the water bottle flowers.  Some people made their own water bottle flowers and even added them to the display!!
