What to do with those darn blue bottles, perhaps an archway from Daniel's office to the sunset seats?

I really like this idea, mainly because it lets people see both sides of the bottles vs making a home out of them and having to go inside the home to get the full effect. I saved the photo to my desktop and did a reverse image search using Tineye. The third response was www.duskyswondersite.com a truly wonderful site which is the epiphany of human ingenuity. There are a few bottle usage examples near the bottom. The caption on that photo said The Bottle Chapel at Airlie Gardens, North Carolina. I did a google search of that and found this wonderful video made buy Virginia Wright-Frierson. The artist is Minnie Evans, the name of the sculpture is The Rainbow doorway.
Minnie Evans was one great person and this location obviously had a lot of love, patience and planning go into it. The only other idea which has really captivated me is this one of a wave made from blue bottles, it is supported by a steel beam. I imagine the sculpture on the beach with the beam based on a swivle so the whole sculpture turns with the wind or the whim of those wishing to be photographed next to it. One could observe it with the sun shinning off of it or through it at the desired angle. I have about 500 1 liter blue bottles and several red ones saved up for this project, any ideas welcome.

It might take the group there 2-3 weeks to get that many bottles emptied.
