Ready to be sent to the place where all the squares will be assembled. When I have an address where you can see it put together and covering the gas station, I will let you know.

Looks great, yes I knew right away it was US. It will be interesting to see what everyone else comes up with as well. Keep creating,

Thanks! It was really fun to make. What are you making these days?
True for oil, true for just about anything else you can name. Hope you can post a picture of the whole cover- that would be interesting!
You definitely made your point!!
Hi Marjie,
This is a great piece and really makes a statement. I think it should be displayed prominently in the gas station cover piece. I think I've heard something about this, but I can't recall any details. Is this top secret or can you tell us who's doing it?
Is the money real? Real or not, how do keep it attached and did you treat it with any sort of sealant to protect it? This is so creative, Marjie. It will be fun to see the whole project after it's done.

Wow, amazing piece, Marjie. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you everyone for the cool comments and for letting me know you were here to look.
I will post a picture when the whole thing is completed.
The person doing this project is named Jennifer Marsh and her web site is:

The money is NOT real. I knew what I wanted and if you read another posting on the blog I knew that there had to me money fabric somewhere and there it was at Joann's. I used Wonder Under (2 words?) so that meant cutting out the whole printed pieces (ones, fives, tens, twenties, fiftys and hundreds) and fusing them with other whole pieces. I then machine stitched them down onto the painting folding many of the bills so they would stick up. The money fabric didn't have any complete back sides of the bills so I cut what I could and fused those green pieces onto the backs here and there. Most of the bills have another front on the back. Does that make sense?
Thanks for the info about making your piece and also the link to the person doing the cover. The money does look real. The way you did it was a good idea. I remember you saying something about Joanne's but I guess I missed the money fabric part.
Thanks again, Marjie!
