How this is made


Fair Trade and Handmade Our mission is to offer income-generating opportunities to craftspeople in developing countries by following fair trade practices including paying in advance at least the market price for items, ensuring that craftspeople receive payment, and ensuring that the craftspeople work in fair working conditions. We work directly with artisans, craftspeople, and producer groups to achieve these goals and expectantly help toughen the lives of one of the most people with whom we share this planet.	Croix des Bouquets , Haiti When you visit Croix des Bouquets, the area of town known for Haitian metal art in the capital of Port-Au-Prince, you are met with a cacophony of tink, tink, tink as ball peen hammers strike sheets of steel. The sheets are cut from steel drums colored by oil and other liquids the drums at one time held.	Making of Haitian Metal Art The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful wall art is all done by hand, from cutting holes that become edges of trees and leaves, to accenting each lizard with a texture of scales, to painting or lacquering the final design.

To hang metal art simply use pin head nails in the many nooks and spaces available in the design.

Given the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it’ll vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina.

We have it hanging above our big screen TV. This is the one item everybody that comes over notices and ask about.

Just beautiful. This gorgeous Tree of Life & birds made a visually appealing addition to my new Secret Garden entrance. 3 birds on the wall & 2 hiding in the birch tree pieces on top of the rear arch. Someone put numerous work into these.
