Some Popular Types of Garden Animal Statues and
their Characteristics
  • Because we recognize that statues and sculptures
    are among humanity's oldest forms of art, we take
    great care in handpicking only the most
    distinctive and breathtaking styles. There are a
    variety of materials available, including metal,
    wood, stone, and poly-resin, to create some very
    stylish options for your garden statue animals.
  • Here, I rough out some of the materials used and
    their characteristics,

Clay Animal Statues
  • Clay is a multipurpose substance, while using for
    decorative purposes, it adds beauty to the entire
    scene. One of the latest trends in animal
    sculpting is the use of polymer clay and acrylic
    paint. Making these cute little animal statues is
    a unique and personalized experience. It all
    begins with a ball of clay and usually takes
    several days to transform that clay into a
    breathtaking animal statue.
  • While creating this piece of art, exceptional
    care is required, every minute details are to be
    considered. While treated at different
    temperatures, combined with different minerals,
    clay can be transformed into porcelain
    earthenware and stoneware. Polymer clay is
    considered best for making animal statues,
    because of its user-friendly nature. Even kids
    can handle it easily also it is safe to use.

Wire Animal Statues
  • Wire sculptures have been a big treat for
    centuries. They look incredible and it involves
    not much of the hard work in making a magnificent
    piece of wire animal statue. It enhances the
    overall pictorial beauty of your garden and
    creates a very impressive impact when made
    properly. The most important thing is to choose
    the best wire for animal sculpting. Its easier
    said than done because many aspects control your
    decision.
  • Whatever material you choose for your wire be it
    copper, aluminum, or silver, one thing that
    should never be compromised is the gauge. High
    gauge wire is considered best for wire animal
    sculpting. It is easily moldable and can take
    whatever shape you want to mold it in. These
    wires come with different hardness, ranging from
    extra soft to full hard. Choose wisely, keeping
    in mind the model you are going to create.

Bronze Animal Statues
  •  Bronze is expensive, so are the bronze animal
    statues. They need to be treated in foundry and
    these foundries charge a very heavy amount to
    process these statues, and sometimes it even
    exceeds the original price of that piece of art.
    These bronze statues no doubt look fantastic
    outdoors. They create a very antique and classy
    impression even at first sight. As compared to
    copper and stone, bronze has much more endurance
    towards natural elements and weather harshness.

Wooden Animal Statues
  • Wood is a very light material. Its much softer
    and easy to carve as compared to stones and
    metals. Very intricate details can be carved on
    wood, whereas carving on stones is harder. Two or
    more pieces of wood can be combined and assembled
    to create a complete big animal statue. Wood
    carving has been one of the oldest forms of art
    since ages. It has its footprints in almost every
    culture. 

10
Porcelain Animal Statues
  • Porcelain is a kind of clay but less spongy and
    less flexible. It is a very strong and hard
    substance and keeps a very high resistance
    against chemical attack and thermal shock.
    Porcelain is made from a clay-water paste that is
    molded and fired at temperatures above 2300
    degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • Porcelain allows the reflection of bright light.
    Animal statues made of porcelain look very
    attractive and eye-catching, especially at night
    times because of this light-reflecting property.
