Animal art from hub caps - Catherine - 04-02-2015
The artist has used hub caps to make statues of animals. They really are quite good. Nothing like taking scrap and making something beautiful from it. I do not know which one I like best.

The fox is pretty amazing.

Wow! What great artwork. You'd never imagine old hubcaps could re-shape into all sorts of creatures. I like every single one, but the turtle is my favourite...followed closely by the Eagle.

Some people see garbage and others see the materials for beautiful art.
The fish and dragon were amazing. They were all amazing.

This kind of reminds me of some of the little sculptures on sale in an "African shop" near where I live.
African children make a living, or extra cash to help their families, from finding old bits of anything on dump-sites, and they craft objects from them. Amazing works of art and beautifully made with imagination and skill.

Some people are so talented. A few scraps and some good ideas and they have produced charming little pieces of art.
I still find it hard to believe that the sculptures came from hub caps. They seem to delicate.
