A Delicate Touch


Hana Rubi is an artist from Manchester, England who creates objects that are visually compelling and a little bizarre—in the best way. I love the "Alice in Wonderland" vibe that her work embodies, and I couldn't help but stare at these simple, yet peculiar ceramic bell shaped dolls.

Scroll down to see more of Hana's ceramic creations. And when you're done, be sure to check out her Etsy shop to get your own unusual and affordable art.

Need to stop painting up faces while the watching the news.. pretty sure my look of worry and concern is being transferred to whatever I’m working on. • She may be full of ‘bad vibes’ but I’m still into her. This is a larger version of my smaller harpy ornaments, and is a really nice size to work with ☺️ • Im painting up some more ceramic pieces while keeping an eye on the current global health situation before I list everything on my Etsy shop, so please bear with me.. • • #ceramicart #clay #playwithclay #ceramicbird #ceramicboobs #ceramicanimals #birdwoman #harpy #siren #alkonost #mythology #mythologyart #boobart #feministart #feministartist #manchesterartist #wallart #quirkydecor #earthenware #goldglitter #goldaccents #sideeye #smallart #handmade #hanarubi #hanarubistudio #queen #crown

The Adorable Sculptures of Yen Yen Lo

These images are from a series of wall sculptures created by Yen Yen Lo . Here you can see her intricately textured ceramic pieces, looking downright adorable. Yen Yen Lo's eye for the unique and whimsical is delightful. Apparently they are not intended for kids under 16. Fifteen-year-olds cannot be trusted with fragile stuff. Get them a Funko Pop instead.

Good things come in small boxes

Here's a tip: If you lose your child at The Museum of Modern Art, try the MoMa Design Store , where he's likely roaming around and looking for some cool toys. Among the things worth buying is this Science Experiment Toolbox, which contains everything kids as young as four need to conduct over 6 exciting experiments. Made of durable plastic and eco-friendly wood parts, budding engineers, inventors, and problem-solvers will be fascinated by this set. There's a bell ringer, a zoetrope, a waving hand, a climbing frog and a crane to help them learn logical concepts such energy transfer, momentum and gravity.  I would have loved this as a kid.

How sculptor Ptolemy Elrington turns old hubcaps into works of art

One British artist has found treasure in the junk that some people throw away and, using his creativity and resourcefulness, turns it into metal masterpieces.  Ptolemy Elrington, who is currently based in Brighton, England, takes abandoned hubcaps and repurposes them into spectacular animal sculptures using hand tools and wire. Ptolemy specializes in wheel trims, but any piece of discarded metal scrap is a potential art masterpiece in his eyes. His creations can take anything from a single day to three months, such as the ten-meter long dragon he built from 200 hubcaps, which sold for £3,000. Check out the video, embedded below, and  his website for more. [h/t: FREEYORK ]
