There are more than 50,000 bottles built into the winding walls that go around and through Tinkertown in Sandia Park, N.M. The folk art museum took 20 years to build. The artist Ross Ward picked up many pieces of ephemera and old amusement park machines during his travels as a carnival painter. Ward passed away in 2002, but his widow and partner-in-tinkering Carla Ward still runs the place.
