| Magnolia Pearl 4x4 Rolls Royce Art Car |
Magnolia Pearl aka Robin "Pearl" Brown of Bandera, Texas and her partner John Gray opened up a business selling clothing and accessories made from vintage laces, velvets, silks, and embroidered linens from her collection. It all started with a bag she made that was so amazing that a total stranger tracked her down in store and bought it from her. So she made another and another and today she is an accomplished textile artist who has designed all kinds of things from vintage backpacks, purses, clothing, jewelry, and even some fine furniture pieces.
What interested me about her was her amazing 1958
Rolls Royce Silver Cloud
4x4 Hippie Glam Art Car and the matching airstream that went with it. WOW!!! First of all, this Rolls Royce art car is even more over the top than
John Lenon's Art Car, with more flowers and off road power in one car than all of Haight Ashbury and Monster Jam put together.
The airstream also has an amazing paint job but it truly is breath taking and cozy once you get inside and see all the details. She has completely remade this airstream in her unique style with plenty of
texture and color to keep the eyes busy for a long long time. And after a long day of doing
some off road cross country travel you can pull over and soak in a claw foot tub filled with hot water and bubbles. Have tea and fall asleep in what looks like the most comfortable
airstream bead I have ever seen.
Robin Bandera and her creations are a delight to the eyes and soul in every way and has managed to pull together her style using the elements at her disposal with ease and perfection, case in point. The only criticism I have of her is that she should have installed a
roll cage inside the
art car, but I am willing to over look this minor detail, this time:) Great Job!!!

I love how Magnolia used different texture fabrics, colors, shapes and all kinds of beautiful things that catch our eyes and embellish the world around any of her pieces. I wish I could have her courage to create things that look so cheerful.
