What an awesome stop on my Route 66 trip! I heard about this place through word of mouth and I was so impressed I wanted to get this gallery on Yelp! Bob Lile is the owner and his dog, Lady works there as well. Don't forget to give her pets! Don't pet Bob though.
He is really talented. It's such a cool space, it was one of my favorite stops along the way. I heard that he makes jewelry out of the Cadillac paint from Cadillac ranch. I had to see for myself because I couldn't imagine it. He showed me all around and he displays other artists Route 66 themed art as well. It's all amazing-I'll take one of each! He showed me what he does to make his jewelry. Gosh, it was fascinating I can't say enough nice things! I wish I had been able to chat longer but I was in a time crunch. I did buy a necklace and due to a tiny mix up I got the wrong necklace! So I'm sending it back and he's sending me the right one! That is really awesome customer service!
His art is not cheap but it is reasonably priced! First of all it's an amazingly cool concept to create jewelry from the paint that's chipped off the cars. Second of all you're buying something that you'll have forever-if you don't lose it. Thirdly it's a conversation piece people are going to ask you about your jewelry because it's so unique and colorful. Fourthly it's a great souvenir it's better than a shot glass or a postcard or sticker. read more
