For the Rough Coated Collie Weathervane featured here our customer requested optional gold leafing to match the markings of their dog. Our dogs also have glass eyes in the color of your choice, and our skilled artisans can vary the texture of the dog’s coat depending on whether it is a show dog or a field dog.
We can also add an optional collar and tag inscribed with your dog’s name. If you provide photographs of of your collie, we can use them to further personalize the weathervane into a portrait. The markings can even vary on each side of the sculpture piece! We were fortunate to recently receive a winter photo of the vane we made for a customer in Colorado. We love how the copper has patina’d a deep chocolate brown color while the gold has retained its brightness.
All of our dog weather vanes can be made with an optional collar. And we can actually inscribe your dog’s name on the collar and/or we can add an inscribed tag in the shape of a dog bone, a heart or a circle. Using a combination of these options, we can incorporate up to three dog’s names on your weather vane! We do this by putting one dog’s name on one side of the collar, another dog’s name on the opposite side of the collar and a third name on the dog tag. The collar and/or tag can be optionally gold leafed as well.
Each of our weather vanes is made to order. At the time you place your order we will help you choose the eye color, size, and any optional changes you may want.
