A portion of the mosaic sidewalk that winds through Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village in Simi Valley, California
At age 60, Tressa "Grandma" Prisbrey, began carting bottles home from the town dump to use as inexpensive building material, initially for a wall between her and a neighboring turkey farm. Over time she transformed her one-third acre rural lot into Bottle Village, a folk-art fantasyland of shrines, wishing wells, mosaic walkways, fountains, follies, and 15 structures all made from found objects.
