Garden Tree with Bird, Haitian Metal Wall Art From Recycled Oil Drums 10" X 10" Framed by a circle, and indicative of the cycle of life, this tree stands tall and proud, it's branches protective of the bird nesting therein. Handmade in Haiti following 60 years of folk art tradition. In Haiti, the traditional art of converting oil drums into sculptures is a true mark of both man's imagination and his resourcefulness in the face of dire economic circumstances. Using 55-gallon oil drum cast offs, the artist first removes both ends of the drum. Next, he stuffs the drum with straw, igniting it to burn out any residues. When it has cooled, he slices it down one side and pounds it into a flat metal sheet . With a stick of chalk, the artist then draws his intended design onto the metal. Finally, he applies a hammer and chisel to the task; cutting, shaping, and contouring the piece to its completion. Fair trade is important to us and to our artists.
