Bad.Ass.Mexicans...BAM
awesomespanish: The Volkswagen was covered in 2,277,000 beads applied by eight artisans from two Huichol families in an exclusive design based on Huichol culture. Work on the car was finished in late 2010 and the car is scheduled to be auctioned off in the fall of 2011, with proceeds benefiting an organization dedicated to supporting Mexico’s artisans.The images represent Huichol deities and culture. These include, on the car’s hood, two snakes above clouds, which represent rain. The back has images of offerings, and a canoe steered by a shaman. BAM
