I never imagined how many artistic forms something as simple as a weather vane could be made into . Traveling for work from gas field to gas field these caught my attention. It's become a hobby of sorts. Something to keep an eye open for as the miles go by. As I began to see the diversity in the subjects folks made into weather vanes I even looked for them when I was traveling out of country. From Nova Scotia in Canada to McMurdo Station in the Antartic and across the west. Folks never seem to run out of ideas. I've seen weather vanes portray sports, animals, from the ocean to the mountains, hobbies, the old west, rodeo, birds of all kinds. These can be bought in a number of designs. They come in three dimensional, flat steel, painted, powder coated. The technology for cutting steel presents the possibility that if you can imagine it, you can have it made. These are small works of art and a statement that folks like to add to their roof tops. A simple thing to express what they enjoy. I hope you enjoy the diversity of the works I've seen in my travels.
