For those who are interested, here’s a little background info on how I started PVC Animals
I’ve been making and selling the finished sculptures for several years now. It all started when I was bored with woodworking and wanted to try something different. I searched online and came across a free pattern for a small pvc pipe bird. It intrigued me so much that I printed it out and tried it right away. I was immediately hooked! It was so gratifying to get such a cute bird sculpture out of just a plain piece of pvc pipe. My first few birds were quite amateurish, with some really odd looking neck bends, but what the heck I was having fun! Those silly birds that were created years ago are still in my gardens today!
After making several birds from that one pattern I started to design my own. I have to admit my first few patterns didn’t exactly produce works of art, but after multiple alterations I came up with some designs that I was happy with. I had a client ask if I could make an eagle. I told her I wasn’t sure but I would give it a try. So thanks to “Linda” I now have an eagle pattern that I’m quite proud of. She is also the inspiration for the moose as well!
So if you’re looking for something fun to work on, try making an animal out of pvc pipe, you might get hooked on it like I did!
