Artist Raymond Waters was approached by Coca Cola to create a tapestry for their new office space in Toronto, and he went above and beyond.
All of these Coke related art works were created using bottle caps, which adds an interesting element to these pieces. Not only did Waters put together a fantastic Diet Coke style wall tapestry, he also created an eye catching red dress (again, made completely from Coca Cola bottle caps.)
As previously mentioned, the wall piece is done in the style of a Diet Coke label, meaning red on silver. One can only imagine how long it must have taken waters to put this together and how many bottle caps went into this unusual mural. However, his bottle cap dress steals the show. It has a cute v-neck, a silver belt across the waist and it appears to ruffle. The detail in this dress is unbelievable, especially considering the materials used to create it.
After seeing his work for Coca Cola, I'd definitely let Raymond Waters make me a dress.
