DineHear by knauf – 40 seconds at SanChurro

(Please note a little chocolate was wasted in the making of the artistic napkin art above).

When someone asks you to review a restaurant you don’t pick somewhere you have been before because well that’s just boring isn’t it.

SanChurro had been calling out to my chocolate desires for sometime now and the fact that the queue was considerably less then another (over the road – across the corner – down the stress a little) chocolate shop really had me convinced that this was the night to try it out.

YUM! That’s all I have to say.

But I will say more cause well it’s a blog and that’s what bloggers do 🙂

Dipping Fried Churros tossed with cinnamon into hot melted spiced chocolate is probably as close to heaven as your going to get.

With the exception of hearing a coffee machine grinding someones coffee beans whilst you try to enjoy the quietness of no children sharing your chocolate.

Here is my 40 seconds of kitchen sounds.

Am I crazy? Isn’t it wrong to be sitting in a chocolate cafe/shop/restaurant/haven and hearing coffee machines?

Why go to a Chocolate shop and order coffee? Isn’t that what Starbucks and Gloria jeans are for?

These “coffee lovers” are clogging up doorways when serious “chocolate lovers” are waiting in line for a fix. Oh did I mention I LOVE chocolate?

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.
