A hanger in on the back of the mermaid.

This metal mermaid wall piece is hand cut from recycled 50 gallon steel drums at our workshop in Port au Prince, Haiti.. Both ends of the drum are removed and placed inside of the remaining cylinder along with scrap paper, dried banana or sugar cane leaves. It is set on fire, to burn off any paint or residue. When cooled, the drum is cut down the side and flattened out to create a "metal canvas" of approximately 3' x 6', upon which the design is drawn. Using hammer, chisel and various primitive tools, the shape is cut and the various decorative patterns are pounded into the metal, creating a unique and treasured piece of primitive art. The finished design is coated with a protective finish. Can be hung indoors or outdoors.
All of the metal art pieces are handcrafted in my own workshop in Port au Prince, Haiti. The photos show some of the process of turning a recycled steel drum into a work of art for your home.
