Easter Eggs by Bartek AmbrozikI found an easy Easter egg candle making project that involves using the actual shell for the mold. Then you shoot a syringe full of wax into a small hole at the top of the shell. For the full project instructions, see Easter Egg Candle – Kid Art Project.

Decoupage Easter Candle

If you would like to try a decoupage Easter candle, CraftIdeas.info has a cute project involving tissue paper and chicks. You could use any sort of Easter picture that you wanted on it though

Easter Candle Holder

This candle holder is gorgeous and it’s probably my favorite project because it’s so colorful, fresh and festive. You use multicolored plastic eggs for this one and you can find the tutorial at CSI (Create Something Inspiring).

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.
