The Hubcap Art Of Ptolemy Elrington

A dog with a steel grip: another hubcap design

If you really enjoy recycled art then you really should enjoy these sculptures that are made from found hubcaps by U.K. artist Ptolemy Elrington.

He said that he lives at a sharp bend in the road that passes by his home and began collecting the hubcaps originally to build a suit of armor but soon changed his mind when he noticed that they were quite marine-like in appearance.

And the rest, they say, is history.

Read more of about his interesting art style at the Daily Mail.

Misa's Handcrafted Jewelry

Shima Cuff
I'm a big fan of hand sculpted jewelry that keeps it from looking mass manufactured.
I think that Misa has made that happen very well here.

Shima Teardrop Necklace with Chalcedony

Misa Hamamoto, the creator and designer of Los Angeles-based Misa Jewelry, draws inspiration for her handcrafted jewelry from her island upbringing in Hawaii and Micronesia. She incorporates her affinity with nature into her designs through sculpted organic forms and precious and semiprecious gemstones from her world travels. Through the ancient art of lost-wax casting, she skillfully carves her designs from wax, which then undergo a casting process that solidifies molten metal.

Misa graduated from UCLA with a BA in Economics and worked for several investment firms, but she always felt displaced. After realizing her love for creating art and jewelry was what truly made her happy, she finally decided to leave the “corporate world” and merged her passion and career into one.

Misa’s unique line of jewelry is entirely handmade in her Los Angeles studio and consequently avoids the mass-manufactured look with her distinctive style. Her love and thought put into each design and years of jewelry-making experience clearly shine through to all of her collectors.

“My goal is to celebrate the balanced union between the beauty of nature and the style of the modern world…the island girl meets the city girl." -- Misa

Nude Woman Rock Relief

I don't know who created this rock relief or if there has been a little Photo Shopping going on but nevertheless it still creates an interesting look in the stones.

Margot's Other Cat by Arthur Ganson



The apparent weightlessness of this chair is being accomplished with a counterbalance disk and by its striking of the cat on the moving table. The motion of the chair never will follow a set pattern. Its always random.

See more of Arthur's kinetic sculpture at his website.

Jewelry Is Hangin' From Tree Branches Around Here

I'm sure that you've heard the old saying that money doesn't grow on trees but this 'sculpted by nature but specifically selected by human' tree branch definitely has money hanging from it.

A great idea for keeping all of those jewelry chains tangle-free while maintaining a sculptural look.

Susan McGehee Kimonos

"Technocrat Tux"

I've always been fascinated by kimonos. I suppose that its because I've never owned nor wore one. Their overall design can be very interesting especially from a sculptural viewpoint. But none are more interesting than Susan McGehee's. See her
website for more info about her kimono designs.
