They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. That’s especially true for these folk artists in Haiti, because you have to have an exceptional eye for beauty to look at an old oil drum and see a gorgeous garden sculpture. This traditional Haitian art is a true mark of man’s imagination and his resourcefulness in the face of dire economic circumstances. Using chalk, the artists draw the design onto a flattened oil drum, and then using a hammer and chisel, they cut, shape and contour the piece to its completion. Once finished, the sculptures are varnished on both sides to protect them from rust.
By purchasing this handcrafted item, you are helping these artists create better lives for themselves and their families through trade. This elaborate garden tree design is filled with native birds, smiling suns and a beautiful tree holding them in place. It provides a lighthearted, natural perspective, perfect for adding a touch of whimsy to your garden or patio wall.
