July 23 2012 .My customer place me an order about Classical decorative garden bronze self made man statues In fact To be honest I never saw this sculptures before .I think this selfmademen is so strange,In my opinion bronze self made women statue must be have some significance .So I asked her.
She told me a story:
Bobbie Carlyle’s bronze sculpture, “Self Made Man”, has been one of her most successful pieces. Like many of her works, it has evolved from the experiences in her life and has been a monumental task to accomplish. Six different male models posed for Bobbie as she created Self Made Man. Her son provided the face, while assorted body parts were “borrowed” from other men in her life. She began the first rendition of the work in Colorado in 1987 and it sat around for a year before becoming a 37-inch bronze. The monumental version began in foam covered with clay and sat idle and unfinished for some time as Bobbie circled it daily in her studio. “I had been in an accident and suffered from whiplash and a broken pcustom when I decided to put concentrated energy into finishing the sculpture,” she said. “I was off crutches but still recuperating as I worked on it religiously.”
She like this artist so she wold like to have one this self made women.Of course from now on I often think about this the history of men|women.I think as one person like we .We should often Reflect on ourself .Like the mean of Classical decorative garden bronze self made woman statues for sale:
Feminine version of the theme, this woman develops herself of clay, both by hand and by tool. Her action symbolizes the universal truth that each woman creates her own character and carves her own future.
