Buster's Handpainted Stork
Hand-Painted in Gulfport, Mississippi
Buster Mayfield, 73, hand-paints garden storks in his small Gulf Coast workshop. 22 years of craft — final batch.
"A stork never comes alone. If you put just one in your yard, you're missing the point."
— Buster Mayfield, Gulfport, MS
Did you know? Storks mate for life — they're one of the most loyal birds on the planet. In many cultures, they're a symbol of luck, family, and new beginnings. That's why most of our customers buy two. One stork is nice. A pair tells a story.

What Makes a Mayfield Stork Different
Real Brushwork
Every stork is painted by hand with a brush — never sprayed. Fine feather textures you can see and feel.
UV-Lock Finish
Weatherproof coating that won't fade or peel after two full summers in direct sunlight.
The Silhouette
20 inches tall, true-to-life proportions. From 30 feet away, you see a real stork — not a figurine.
Rust-Proof Legs
Coated metal legs in stork red. They hold firm in the ground, won't rust, survive every winter.
All-Weather Build
Rain, frost, heat — the material holds up. No need to bring them inside for winter.
A Symbol of Luck
Storks have been a sign of good fortune and new beginnings for centuries. Many cultures believe a stork in the yard brings luck to the home.
Expert Endorsement
"Buster Mayfield's storks are among the last true hand-painted garden figures made in an American workshop. The feather detail, the proportions, the brushwork — every step is by hand. You can see the difference from twenty feet away."
Diane Marchetti
Curator, Southern Folk Art Society

Why It Lasts
30-Day Risk-Free Return
If the stork isn't right, email Tyler for a return label. No questions asked. Full refund.
A Note on Handmade Variation
Every stork is painted by Buster's own hand — small differences between birds (a slightly different shade of red on the beak, a unique feather line near the eye) are expected. No two storks are identical. That's the whole point.

Message from the Artist:
After years of making things by hand, our workshop is closing. These are the last pieces we'll ever ship. Every item on this page was made slowly, carefully, and with more love than any factory could replicate. Nothing rushed. Nothing outsourced. Just real craft from real hands.
We're proud of every single one. We hope they find good homes.
When they're gone, they're gone — and so are we.

What Buster's customers are saying
Set them up Saturday morning. By Sunday, my neighbor across the street came over and asked when the storks moved in. He was dead serious. From the sidewalk, they look completely real. That's when I knew these were worth every penny.

My daughter won't stop talking to them. She named them. She brings them leaves 🥹. But the best part — my mother-in-law saw them from the car and asked why there were storks in our yard. She wasn't joking. That's how real they look.

My wife said you can't just buy one. Storks mate for life — they're loyal. So we got the pair. Best decision. They stand by the hydrangeas and three neighbors have already asked where we got them and ordered on the same evening.

Bought them the week we found out we're expecting. The stork delivers, right? Set them up in the front yard and our whole block figured it out before we even told anyone. Better than any announcement we could've posted 😂.
