I first saw Hubcap Creatures By Ptolemy in Car Magazine back in 2004 (even blogged about it) & loved them. Ptolemy Elrington crafts discarded/found hubcaps into works of art complete with the scratches and scars of their previous life.
I loved them then, to the point of finding out the cost of freight (more than the price) made shipping to NZ unrealistic, but a mention in todays "The Motoring Podcast" had me back at the site again.
Thanks to recent travels if I buy the right Lotto ticket would love to give the Penguin a home in New Zealand.
