Scents of Heaven Candle Co.

by

Scents of Heaven Candle Co. – Wholesale Candle Supplies contacted me to tell me about their candle company. Prices for both their candles and supplies are fairly reasonable.

For example, 10 pounds of wax ranges in price from $15.99 to $17.99. If you want to just order candles, you can create your own custom candle. Tell them what color and scent you want and they’ll be happy to make it for you.

Candle fragrances at Scents of Heaven involve exotic scents like Caribbean, frozen margaritas, sangria and sex on the beach. If you’re in Brevard County, Florida and your order is over $100, delivery is free.

They will also create a personalized prayer candle for you, which is a wonderful idea. I’m not a huge fan of flowers that wilt a couple days later and a prayer candle is a perfect alternative.

There’s a new candle coming soon at Scents of Heaven and 50% of the proceeds will go towards helping the local animal shelters. “I am posting very soon a new candle to benefit the animal shelters. We will donate up to 50% of the proceeds to our local animal shelters. With the shape our economy is in the animals are being turned out at unbearable rates. Please donate to feed and shelter them until they can find homes”, said Brandi from Scents of Heaven Candle Co.

What a great idea! Even though a couple of the pages on the website don’t appear to be complete, I’m looking forward to seeing more.

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.
