Garden statues - designs
and materials
|
|
Garden statues come
in all sorts of designs. Animals, birds and figures from classical mythology,
literature and
folk tales are very popular. The traditional lion garden statue is still one of
the most popular and grand of garden animal statue designs.
Dragon garden statues and
cherub angel garden statues are two of the more popular mythological
garden statues. For the more formal garden roman statue designs and
the garden lantern pagoda statue make attractive additions. |
Religious garden statues are also
easily obtainable, with The Buddha and St. Francis being popular
garden statue themes. Other interesting and perhaps more unusual designs
that are available include a Winnie the Pooh garden statue, bird girl
garden statue, Alice in Wonderland garden statue, and particularly in the
United States, a baseball garden statue.
Garden statues come in many different types of materials
including stone, cement and concrete to modern hard wearing resins as well as the traditional bronze
and copper garden statues.
Stone garden statues are often
intricately carved by hand and can be very expensive. But they should last
many generations and could be considered family heirlooms.
Cement garden statues are made in
a mold as are concrete garden statues. They are cheaper and not as long
lasting as stone garden statues.
Resin statues are hard wearing,
light and easy to handle and a lot cheaper. Copper garden statues are also
light to handle and can be made in many interesting and unusual designs.
They are perfect for the modern garden. (Garden
