Decorative Metal Tree with Birds, Indoor or Outdoor garden decor, Handmade in Haiti 15" X 15" This piece of folk art is the work of many hands. Laborers begin the process by burning out the residue from discarded steel drums, cutting off the tops and bottoms, splitting down them down the side, sanding and pounding them flat. Next the artist takes over, drawing his design onto the prepared. Then, using only a hammer and a chisel he does the heavy cut work and intricate detailing, giving the piece it's form, dimension, and distinct character. Hanging your art is easy once you know how. Choose a point where the design element is joined or notched and use a nail to hang it from that point on the wall. Use a second and a third nail (if necessary) within other design elements to straighten and secure the piece. Then stand back and admire your work. You'll see that the nails "disappear" into the sculpture. Beautiful! This sculpture comes with a weather-proof finish that will wear off over time. You can allow the metal to age naturally, which will give it a rusted patina and a weathered look. But if that's not for you, take heart. You can easily maintain it's "fresh out of the box" appearance by taking five minutes to wipe the metal down with a cloth and spraying your piece once a year with an enamel clear coat.
