How to convert your garden plot into somethingspecial and unrepeatable? To do this, it is not enough, for example, to decorate the space with an artificial water reservoir or a gazebo designed even for an individual project. Author's design decisions will be required. One of the options - the installation of unusual compositions of natural materials, made by themselves. Do, for example, a sculpture made of wood. Consider several tips for making such crafts, moving from simple solutions to more complex ones.
How best to enter a sculpture from a tree in the general view of the site?
Not always the most modernthe composition can successfully combine with all elements of the street interior. It is worth remembering the basic principles, before deciding on the subject and starting to make a sculpture made of wood:
- use the preliminary "view" by installing a carton-made layout, as a result, you can determine the most favorable location;
- do not try to make the sculpture the center of the site, it is more important to catch the compatibility with the surrounding landscape and create a kind of "world" around the statue;
- try to combine in a single composition several elements - trimmed trees, flower beds, flower arches, figures from stone, wood, etc.
We make the simplest compositions
Perhaps the easiest way to create elementsdecor on the site - this is an immediate woodcarving. Sculptures made from monoliths (for example, by converting freshly cut hemp into fanciful figures) are very easy to make. It is enough to design interesting mugs by attaching individual parts over the outer cover, decorating with "hair" from the decorative elements - and the hack is ready. Fantasizing, you can change the wardrobe and hairstyles of sculptures, thereby getting new and unusual images. By this principle it is easy to create a whole gallery, for example, fairy-tale characters from fairy tales or cartoons.
How to make a multi-layer sculpture of wood: the order of work
If you have already mastered the technique quite wellwork with natural materials and have enough experience, you can begin to produce more complex compositions. Garden sculpture made of wood, regardless of the thematic focus and the desired appearance, in principle, is made by one technology.
Let's consider all stages of work, having arranged them in the order of priority:
- creating an author's image, you can use ideas from the Internet;
sketches on paper;
- modeling of the clay model;
- purchase of necessary materials;
- preliminary preparation;
- Creation of a foundation base;
- drawing a sketch on the workpiece on the required scale;
- sawing along the created contour;
- Incision from the back of the hinges for hanging (if necessary);
- Adhesion of additional layers to obtain a monolith of the required thickness;
- rough ("rough") processing of the form;
- fine processing;
- grinding;
- Coating with paints, and then varnish.
Combination of several materials
Even more extravagant look products, withthe manufacture of which used several different materials in the texture. For example, the sculpture made of wood, made with hands, with green plantations, looks very original. It can be a form for planting flowers. By the way, such an article can please the eye not only in the summer time on the site. Move a small improvised bed for the time of cold weather, for example, to internal heated summer cottages or to a loggia in an apartment. And planted flower cultures in it will surprise your household with holiday colors under the New Year. Another variant of the combination of materials can be the design of various stone arches. Framing with the help of wooden compositions and sculptures will look quite harmoniously, simply and simultaneously exquisitely.
There are many usesmaterials from wood at registration of sites on a summer residence or an estate near a country house. Before you start, think through all the details, and only after the final decision with a choice of style and forms, begin to create and convene unique masterpieces!
