Champagne Cocktails For Your Wedding

by

Champagne is one of those drinks that simply means “Celebration”, Of course this is not it’s literal translation. Champagne is named after an area in France where the first Champagne was created. Champagne ,in France used to a sea bed and it’s believed these rich minerals are what makes the wine so special. That is of course if you are drinking Champagne from actual Champagne otherwise you’re actual just drinking sparkling wine. But don’t fret, it’s the same thing just a different (cheaper) name.

We have treated you to this top 10 roundup of Champagne spritzers or Cocktails for your Wedding or party. The best thing about Champagne cocktails is that the use less champagne which means you can afford to have the drinks “flowing” as they say.  It cuts down your costs, whilst allowing your guests to enjoy a glass of bubbles. I have to say my favorite is the candy floss cocktail but that one is pure champagne with just the decoration on top, it’s easy to do though but not cheaper.

Did you know Marilyn Monroe took a bath in champagne? It took 350 bottles to fill up the tub.

Hubcap Creatures: Transforming Roadside Finds into Sculptural Wildlife

Hubcap Creatures is the creative project of British sculptor Ptolemy Elrington, who has transformed discarded hubcaps into captivating sculptures of wildlife. Operating from Brighton, Elrington has been crafting these unique pieces since the late 1990s, turning everyday automotive debris into stunning representations of animals from the natural world.

The artistic process behind Elrington’s sculptures is centered around recycling and upcycling. The hubcaps he uses are typically found on the side of the road and often show signs of wear, including scratches and dents. Elrington believes that these imperfections add character and depth to his creatures, making each piece truly one of a kind.

His work spans a wide range of animals, including foxes, fish, and birds, with each sculpture thoughtfully crafted to showcase the unique features of the materials. The brand logos, grooves, and markings found on the hubcaps often contribute to the creature’s expression and structure, giving them a distinct, textured look.

Elrington’s Hubcap Creatures have been showcased in various exhibitions, both in the UK and internationally. His innovative approach has gained recognition for its creativity and environmental awareness, demonstrating how discarded materials can be transformed into meaningful art.

For art enthusiasts or collectors, Elrington offers a mix of available sculptures and custom commissions, allowing individuals to bring home a piece of this upcycled art. Hubcap Creatures stands as a brilliant example of how creativity can breathe new life into the most unlikely of materials, all while promoting sustainability.
