Get Creative With Garden Sculpture USA

By Anthony McDonald


It is important to get out from in front of a television set, move the body, and express the mind. A person can accomplish all three of these things by creating their own garden sculpture USA. In fact, some people have turned off their TV, turned on their creativity, and turned their hobby into their life work.

Anyone who buys a property with an old barn full of scrap metal has the perfect opportunity for a new hobby. An inexpensive welder can turn scrap metal into statuary in no time, and the noise is sure to provide hours of irritation for the neighbors. Metals hold up much better than ceramics, and can be moved with little or no risk to the piece being created.

Scrap metals artwork is a great way to show off an antique collection. Most everyone has at least a few old rakes, blades, or farm equipment laying around, and these can be modified to resemble animals, fish, insects, or geometric patterns. Sun catchers bought at the store are nice, but they fail to make a statement about the person living behind the yard art.

Art brings families closer together. The sense of accomplishment that one gets from completing a project is a boon in life no matter what the age of the artist. Parents who continuously encourage their young ones to be creative, and display their creations along with their own, raise more emotionally stable, creative, and happy adults.

Many of us have found a gift in the ground that came from some garden of old. It seems a shame that one might lose a piece of yard art, but the finder is always intrigued by a mysterious new piece of art created in the past. Gifts given from one generation of gardener to the next in this way often take pride of place in the yard of an outdoor artist.

Our society becomes more and more immersed in life indoors with no sunlight or exercise. Yards become forgotten places, and many are viewed as more of a burden requiring effort than a place to enjoy spending time with friends and family. A yard full of colorful surprises attracts others with imaginative minds.

The minimalist approach to yard maintenance is boring, and tells people that those who live inside are boring as well. When we turn our yards into a display of our creative endeavors, we announce to the world that we are not satisfied to dwell in front of a talking box only. We tell the world that we see beauty in the mundane, and this makes us more interesting to others.

In fact, more and more people have abandoned their television sets entirely. Families are outside growing food and flowers, cutting metal and stacking stone. At this point in our cultural decline, perhaps the television set can be turned into a sun catcher, and the old recliner can become overgrown with wildflowers in the yard.
