Develop A New Hobby With Garden Sculpture USA

By Anthony McDonald


Americans are facing a health crisis, and it is a preventable one. Too many years have we spent parked in front of a television set rather than out playing and creating with our loved ones. Creating garden sculpture USA can mark an auspicious beginning for many people to begin living life outside rather than on the couch.

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.

These scrap metal creations are also an excellent way to display a collection of antiques. Old rakes and sling blades can be turned into a variety of animals, insects, or other fun, eye-catching gadgets that the neighbors might enjoy. Anyone can buy a sun catcher from a local high volume store, but such overpriced gadgets tell very little of the talents of those who live within.

Art should always be a family affair, and a love of creation starts at home. Parents who encourage their children to be creative, and display their creativity, raise children who never lose a sense of the magic of life. Those who do not question the quality or value of their creative pursuits grow to have a greater overall sense of their place in the world.

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 current culture of indoor living has left us fat, lethargic, and unmotivated toward creative expression. Yards have become a forgotten zone, and we tend to think of them as a chore rather than a place of gathering. Anyone who grows food and flowers is different, and those who scatter art throughout the yard are in a class all their own.

Boring yards generally mean boring people, and we must stop to consider what our own yard might say about ourselves. By allowing ourselves to embrace a mediocre way of living, we become mediocre in our ambitions. Stepping outside and experiencing the real world is the first step toward awakening a creativity that rests inside all of us, and screams for expression.

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.
