An Element of Individuality: Choosing a Weathervane?
Spring is here and it’s time to spruce up the house. You would like something but you’re not quite sure what. Repainting the house would be time consuming and too expensive. Consider a weathervane as an economical way to bring a little pizzazz into the equation. Weathervanes have come a long way from the traditional rooster or arrow seen on barns and houses across the land. Today, there is such a wide variety; you can choose an ornamental design to highlight you, your home or your favorite passion. The ornament is the focal point but you will have to decide on size, material and features. An animal is the traditional choice for a weathervane figure. Horse, pigs, cows, dogs, or dolphins are a few of the animals that can be used in a weathervane design. Human figures are another avenue to explore. A simple silhouette of a man or woman can adorn the top of your weathervane or you can personalize it with action figures engaged in sport activities. The ever-popular arrow can be utilized in different types of architectural mediums: traditional, modern, or Victorian elements can all be incorporated into the weathervane. More stylized weathervanes are available in designs of collegiate affiliation, family crests, boating, weather stories and a host of clever designs. Some manufacturers would eagerly work with you on a custom design specifically created for your taste. Once you have decided on the ornament, you need to factor the style since weathervanes come in dimensional shapes. You can choose three styles. The silhouette is a flat two dimensional figure or symbol, the swell-bodied vane is a narrow three-dimensional figure and the full-bodied style is a three-dimensional figure scaled to accurate proportions. The last thing you need to choose is the material for your weathervane, Copper is the traditional choice with a gorgeous green-gold patina emerging as the vane is weathered by outdoor elements. Steel is another popular choice as is wrought iron and cast iron. However, weathervanes can also be made from aluminum, bronze, brass or plastic. Whatever design you choose, for an average price of about $400.00 you can bring a new element of adornment to your home that is charming, whimsical and long lasting.
