Our
Bird art is mostly made from recycled steel. The steel is cleaned to
remove it's outer covering and any inner residue. Hand tools are then
used to cut and form each sheet into a convenient size. Each design is
set out onto the metal before the component parts are cut out.
The
parts are beaten into shape before being welded into position to
develop the desired structure, some of the feathers are cut and lifted
up and away from the body to form a more life-like appearance to each
piece. In some instances additional texture is added during the welding
process to further enhance the visual appeal. The thin legs and necks
are made from metal rebar.
Once
the excess metal and welding marks are removed, the birds are allowed
to develop a natural patina, this is then locked in by double-dipping in
a bath or painted with two protective coats of polyurethane varnish to
create an exquisite work of art.
All
of our animal sculptures are hand-crafted and it is the nature of the
product that there may be some variation in colour, texture and finish,
as well as slight irregularities. These are not considered faults and
may indeed add to their character and overall appeal. Natural steel
products may rust over time, although this will not affect their
function.
