Grass Sculptures

Imagine having this on your front yard, how cool would that be! I always thought that sculptures were made with marble, wood or clay, but not after I saw this picture. These sculptures are truly a work of art, it must have taken the artist a long time to trim the bush into the figure of an elephant. Not only do these sculptures look awesome, they also provide a way for us to combine nature and art. Using grass as a medium for sculptures can be beneficial for the environment, and it is also very cheap. Instead of purchasing a block of marble for sculpting, these sculptures can be made in your very own backyard, with no cost at all! Although it might require some creativity and many hours in the sun, but the end result is definitely worth it.

  1. I've always been fascinated by artists who can create such intricate pieces from natural objects. I can only imagine the time and skill required to create such a sculpture since you are extremely limited by the composition of the bush or shrub that you are using. It is truly amazing how someone can create something so beautiful from something so seemingly unorthodox if you consider art as typically displayed in museums. Great post! I always enjoying seeing pieces such as this.
