Haitian Steel Drum Wall Art- Playful Kitty and Butterfly -Fair Trade

The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful art is all done by hand. Steel drums used to transport oil into the capital of Haiti are cut, and the oil is burned off to clean the metal, then flattened to create stunning, upcycled art. *Suitable for Indoor or Outdoor Use.  

• Type: Metal Wall Art
• Colors: Metallic
• Materials: Upcycled Steel Metal
• Dimensions: Approx. 9 x 7 inches
• Care: If displaying outdoors it is recommended to spray with a clear lacquer once or twice a year, as prolonged exposure to the elements will cause rust.
• Hanging Instructions: To hang metal art simply use pin headnails in the many nooks and spaces available in the design. If nails are shiny, you may want to darken heads with a black marker to help nails visually disappear.

Given the handmade nature of this product please allow for minor variations. As the metal is recovered from recycled oil drums and colored through a burning process it will vary slightly in coloration. Typically the piece has a darkened steel patina. If handpainted, exact colors may vary, which speaks to the one-of-a-kind nature of each piece. Each piece of metal art whether painted or natural is coated with a layer of clear lacquer to help protect the metal.
