In her former life, this Haitian Garden Angel was a 55-gallon steel drum. Now she plays sweet music to the sun and stars. Recycling is beautiful!

We proudly support our artists through fair trade practice.
The traditional Haitian method of creating metal sculptures from discarded oil drums has changed very little since the technique was first developed by Georges Liataud in the 1950's.

To begin, the drums are burned out, cleaned up, sanded down and pounded flat. Next, the artist chalks his intended design onto the prepared metal and begins the heavy and tedious work of cutting and detailing, using only a hammer and chisel. Finally, the sculpture is sealed with a weather-proof finish, so that the sculpture may be displayed easily indoors or out.

I love these metal art pieces from Haiti. This is the second I purchased. It was bent when I received it. Fortunately I’m an artist & I had to work on it to get the bend out carefully, best I could. It’s still not flat like the first one I purchased. Hope it doesn’t break at some point. It’s still beautiful, and I will display it. I don’t think it’s the sellers fault at all. Shipping issue.

The quality of this pounded metal angel is unbelievable. The detail work is amazing. I will definitely order from this store again. I am so pleased.

Beautifully made wall hanging! Thanks

This is a most amazing work of art. The haitian people are so talented. I pray for them. I'm so happy to have this piece. I will treasure it for many years to come. It was wrapped very well, very securely protected so it arrived safely. It was shipped before I could blink. Thank you so much. It will be a while, but I will definitely be back to buy more. 💞🤗😇🕊
