We love these recycled metal trees! Let them stand alone or grab one of each for the complete look!
The Story:
TheSteel Drum Art of Haitihas been famous for decades throughout the world. Metal from recycled steel drums is cut, flattened, and put into a fire to be made malleable. Then the artisan traces the pattern onto the flat piece, and with chisel and hammer in hand, starts the tapping that cuts away all that is not the image. These particular pieces are made in the village of Croix des Bouquet, which has come to be known as the capital of metal art in Haiti!
These trees are exactly what I was hoping for. They are so unique and beautifully made and will make a lovely addition to my other Haitian metal Christmas decor.
