Handmade Octopus, Recycled Metal Ocean Wall Art, Haiti Steel Drum Indoor Outdoor 7.5"x 17.25" How wonderful for poolside or beach house decor. Meticulously hand-crafted in Haiti. Naturally intelligent, creative and flexible, the octopus also acquires its mystique from the watery environment in which it lives. The octopus' chameleon-like ability to change its color, or disappear in a cloud of black ink when frightened or attacked and you have an enigmatic phantom of magic, wonder and transformation. The mysteries of the untamed sea contribute to the sense of wonder and mystery that surrounds this eight-tentacled creature. It's easy to hang your sculpture with just 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 secure the piece against the wall. You want the nails to "disappear" into the sculpture - and they will. Like magic... Worried that your metal sculpture will rust if exposed to the elements? Don't be. Your sculpture comes with a weather-proof coating that will wear off over time, but you can protect it easily by spending 5 minutes once a year to spray it with clear enamel available at your local hardware store. Our artists prosper from their own hard work, your purchases, and our fair trading practices.
