Arkweld
Animals,
produced by Ian, are the result of our great affection for our livestock. Finished in a rust proof powder coating over mild steel they offer a range of domestic farm animals and birds as attractive garden features. Cows, bulls, pigs, geese, and cockerels together with owls, herons, cats, and butterflies comprise the current flock... which is always growing! |
Introducing ...George
the Owl
sleeps all day but is good company if you are a 'night owl'.
He tends to hoot
rather a lot.
Lucinda
pig considers
herself your equal.
She eats
excessively and enjoys a good mud bath.
Cedric
Cockerel wakes everyone up in a morning - usually far too
early.
He has lots of wives and says he has a lot to crow about.
Nelson
the Cat is in a permanent state of extreme alarm.
His own shadow is more than enough to terrify him.
He is so glad when you come home.
Charlotte
Goose is better than a dog to warn of visitors.
She struts about being a very important person most of the
day.
Likes organising everyone and everything.
Nathaniel
Heron - Nathan to his friends, many unprintable names to
his enemies
- will stand for hours soaking his feet in your pond.
Rodney Koi
feels insecure. He believes the only certianty
about the future is its uncertainty - particularly his future.
Brian is probably
the only snail you will welcome into your garden,
unless you have his twin brother - also called Brian - for
company.
He is guaranteed Hosta friendly and promises only to look at
and
admire your precious garden plants.
Daphne
and David
are the most contented of all the animals.
By the twinkle in David's eye a calf could be on the way.
George's younger brother Cecil has to hang
about all day feeding the birds.
He thinks it is a boring but very important job.
He is joined in this arduous task by Nelson's nephew, Clarence and
Lucinda's niece Emily.
Clarence has a stupid grin permanently on his face and is treated with
contempt by Emily.
But then she treats everyone the same.
Nancy
knows what she wants and how to get it - like all Pigmy Goats.
She is the cheekiest of all the animals.
She loves having babies - year after year.
Her favourite pastime is eating - all the time and everything.
The Arkweld Animals are conceived and
come to life in our West Devon workshops.
We have been fortunate to have spent a lifetime working with
livestock.
We hope that the great affection we have for animals is captured in the
Arkweld Animals.
