AWESOME piece! very creative.

ArtSparker said...

Magic.

At some point, it would be lovely to see the transformed items (as a little circus?) across from the quotidian originals - any local gallery spaces for something like that? I mean, I wouldn't be able to see them personally, but it really would be wonderful for a double take for people who didn't know your work.

Alborozo said...

These are just breathtaking Eric.. really stunning work.

What a transformation! I love this. So cute! No one would ever suspect that his hat once dispensed mustard.

Melinda said...

Oops, I'm all thumbs today. That "Anonymous" was me. :)

Patti said...

That is GORGEOUS! I often try to make things out of recycled materials, but have never been that inventive. I love it.

Sarah Melling said...

Gosh, this is fabulous! I must confess that when I commented on last week's piece, I hadn't had the time to explore your other work. This time, I did...what creative pieces!! You have a real special eye for shapes. Have you thought of proposing a children's book with these sculptures from everyday objects? I think kids (and parents) would love it!

Janete Trindade said...

Wow! It's amazing!

Can you believe it actually took me a while to figure out what the bottle had to do with the lion? :) it's so good I needed some time to see the bottle IS the lion. Truly amazing!

RuAn said...

It is extremely imaginative. You have to make a tutorial. Yet, however much they tell how, to reach it has to have a great imagination, and skill. Hugs

String said...

This is BRILLIANT! It works so well on the shape of the bottle.
