The advantages of a soft sculpture

Posted by Johny Dean on May 13th, 2015

A soft sculpture is a representation of a real thing and is made from soft materials, usually fibres. This kind of sculpture can depict anything from animals to cars and buildings. To order lifelike plush stuffed dogs made from mohair, alpaca or other faux furs, please contact a craftsman.

Soft sculptures have always been present in our lives. However, only over the past few years, our interest towards them has grown. This, because we like to decorate our house or office with products that are made not only from wood or metal, but also from cloth, rubber and even paper. All soft sculptures are flexible, compared to wooden or metallic structures that are rigid.

A sculpture made from fibres can be more authentic than a sculpture made from any other type of material. Factories can manufacture wooden or metallic decorations on a large scale, but soft sculptures cannot be mass produced. They are usually created by craftsmen who invest many hours of work in their creations.

Besides the obvious advantage of being unique, a soft sculpture also comes with the advantage of being customisable. In general, crafts are customisable by definition; however, some of them have to follow a certain path to be created, then get customised.

Think of handmade pieces of jewellery that go through a specific manufacturing process. When they are ready, they can be customised. Rings, bracelets, necklaces can be engraved, painted to feature a certain colour, or treated with a certain substance that would affect their texture or appearance in a desired way.

With soft sculptures, the customisation usually starts from beginning. A person who orders such a sculpture gives the craftsman all the details related to his or her future sculpture. This involves the material or combination of materials that will be used for the sculpture’s creation, their colour, type of accessories used, and so on.

Since manufacturing a customised product takes a long time, it is recommended that you make your order well in advance. This goes especially for those birthdays or other events where you are invited and where you want to offer an original gift. Luckily, people who create lifelike plush stuffed dogs, cats or other animals allow you to purchase products that are already manufactured.

You can check plush animals online or at fairs. If, however, you want a customised product, you would have to wait from several weeks to several months. Also, you could be required to make a small deposit that would help the artist understand that you are highly interested in buying the product you ordered.

Do you want to impress someone? Consider offering them a soft sculpture, which is a work of art made from fibres. We can provide you with a number of soft sculptures depicting animals. Besides the products that already exist, we can also customise plush animals for you. As such, in our workshop, we can create lifelike plush stuffed dogs, cats, and bears.
