What would happen today if an animation studio were to release a cartoon with absolutely no dialogue, a running time of more than two hours and an all-classical music soundtrack? “Blockbuster-esque box office popularity” might not be your first guess, but Disney’s Fantasia was an achievement like none other, appreciated much more over time than it was upon release in 1941.
Pixar made a splash last year with “Wall-E,” a movie that runs a mere 20 minutes without dialogue. It just goes to show how much today’s films rely on exposition and blustery words rather than genuine feeling and storytelling. As a memento of Mickey Mouse’s classic turn as the sorcerer’s apprentice, Armani Disney figurines have captured the roll in a unique collectible.
About a year ago, my grandson was over at my house helping me move some furniture. He took one look at the shelf in my entryway and couldn’t believe the number of crystal figurines I had collected over the years. He noticed that most of the pieces were in the shape of animals and remarked that I had enough to fill a figurine zoo. Whether he knew it or not at the time, my grandson’s comment got me to thinking about the potential of my collection.
Just as a biologist longs to collect and classify different species of mammal, reptile, bird and amphibian, I seek out their crystal counterparts. My bird figurine collection alone is incredibly extensive, complete with storks, herons, flamingos, cockatoos and a bevy of others. I’ve begun displaying the collection in a logical order according to genus, species and phylum. Some would call this an obsession, but I just consider it a passionate hobby.
It should come as no surprise that many couples choose to tie the knot during the warm summer months. The ceremony is made that much more pleasant for wedding attendees, and the outdoor photographs are exponentially more picturesque. If you happen to be a happily married man, chances are that you said your vows on a warm summer’s day as well.
Even the most dedicated husbands have a tendency to forget about their wedding anniversary. It’s a problem that has plagued men for years, and once they fall victim the issue only becomes compounded. In many cases, wives won’t let them live it down for weeks. A well-timed gift can make all the difference between living in confidence and comfort or living in the doghouse. An Armani figurine makes for a great way to show you care, and it’s even better when presented on time.
One of the best ways to decorate your home is with beautiful figurines. Whether you prefer the look of chiseled crystal or finely crafted porcelain, these figurines can add an element of grace and beauty to any home. They come in many different forms and varieties, so there is sure to be something that enhances the look of any home and satisfies the personal aesthetic of any buyer.
To that end, one of the leading names in figurines is Guiseppe Armani. People are particularly drawn to Armani because there is so much variety within his figurines. This way, you can find something that works within your own home, but you can also find a gift for a friend whose house has an entirely different look. Manufactured in Italy, many of these figurines boast extremely meticulous and minute details. They also use high quality materials such as hand finished cold cast porcelain, which means they will stand up to wear and tear throughout the years.
When most people hear the name Armani, they immediately think of the fashion designer. They think of Milan runways and super waifish models donning gorgeous gowns. But there is another noted Armani, and he works in a medium far removed from clothing. This Armani is Guiseppe Armani, and he handles a line of crystal figurines. These Armani figurines do share something with the Armani fashion products, however. They are both made of the finest quality materials.
Whether you’re dealing with silk for a tailored blouse or crystal for a chiseled bear figurine, high quality materials are needed to create a high quality product overall. And quality is exactly the word for these crystal figurines. Because they are so well made, they are ideal for birthday gifts, graduation gifts, or anniversaries. Plus, they are sturdy, so they can be appropriate for all ages. If you are concerned about breakage, however, look into a glass display case. This will make your figures visible to everyone without the need for cleaning or worrying about any breaks or fractures.
