Dumped supermarket trolleys litter our rivers and canals. Now one artist is rescuing them... to create these incredible wire sculptures that celebrate our water wildlife...

The osprey is the perfect fisherman, using its feet and sharp eyesight to hunt. This metal version, however, should perhaps keep clear of open water.

I think these sculptures are awesome and way outrank some of the rubbish shown in art galleries around the world. Sadly they would probably be vandalised if on public display but wouldn't they look great in a park/lake side setting.

I love it. Ptolemy Elrington has taken discarded material and ingeniously produced asthectically pleasing art to soothe the eye and heart. Ptolemy Erlington should get sponsored for a North American tour, once some smart person sponors him on a tour all over Canada.

Please forgive me. I had no idea that Ptolemy was already a famous artist. My previous reply was without knowledge of his world renowed status. That was evident in his artwork which emerged from discarded trolleys. Truly amazing artistry.

I heard this company that sells shopping cart software is offering to purchase any sculptures being made with shopping carts for big bucks. The company is called BlingCart.com. You sculptures should contact them, you might get some good amount of cash lol.
