Mini Octopus Sea life Wall Artwork, Nautical Beach Hanging Decor, Handmade Recycled Metal Art from Haiti 11.5 x 12…

It’s easy to hang your sculpture with only a few nails. Place the first nail within two design elements that are touching or notched. Then use a second and possibly a third nail, if the sculpture is large, to straighten and protected the piece against the wall. You wish to have the nails to “disappear” into the sculpture – and they’re going to. Like magic…The traditional Haitian method of creating metal sculptures from discarded oil drums has changed very little since the technique was first developed by Georges Liataud in the 1950’s. To begin, the drums are burned out, cleaned up, sanded down and pounded flat. Next, the artist chalks his intended design onto the prepared metal and begins the heavy and tedious work of cutting and detailing, the use of only a hammer and chisel. In spite of everything, the sculpture is sealed with a weather-proof finish, so that the sculpture may be displayed easily indoors or out.

Make sure this fits by entering your model number.
Worried that your metal sculpture will rust if exposed to the elements? Don’t be. Your sculpture comes with a weather-proof coating in order to wear off over the years, but you’ll protect it easily by spending 5 minutes once a year to spray it with clear enamel available at your local hardware store.
