Croix des Bouquets , Haiti When you visit Croix des Bouquets, the area of town known for Haitian metal art in the capital of Port-Au-Prince, you are met with a cacophony of tink, tink, tink as ball peen hammers strike sheets of steel. The sheets are cut from steel drums colored by oil and other liquids the drums at one time held.  Making of Haitian Metal Art The process of turning sheets of metal into beautiful wall art is all done by hand, from cutting holes that become edges of trees and leaves, to accenting each lizard with a texture of scales, to painting or lacquering the final design. Read more Suitable for Indoor or Outdoor Use Each piece of metal art whether painted or natural is coated with a layer of clear lacquer to protect the metal from any rust.  To hang metal art simply use pin head nails in the many nooks and spaces available in the design.  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.  Read more What our customers say I bought this Tree of Life steel drum as an anniversary gift for me and my wife.
