Item Description
A single sunflower to brighten a space or embellish a mixed-media arrangement. Signed by the artist, it is a sweet little piece of original folk art.
Hand-crafted from cast-off 55 gallon steel drums, artists in Haiti follow four generations of tradition in metal sculpture.
The artist first visualizes his design, often taking inspiration from his culture and natural surroundings.
Next, he chalks his design onto the flattened metal and then, using only a hammer and chisel, gives the sculpture form and dimension.
The result is a unique piece of folk art, perfect for home or garden use.
These sculptures are great indoor or out~ For outdoor use the varnish will wear away over time and the sculpture will begin to rust naturally or you can maintain the original look by spraying it with a clear enamel every couple of years~
