These wonderful pieces of wall art fit in with many different decoration styles, from modern to arts & crafts. They are made by Haitian craftsman, who utilize old drums as the raw material for their beautiful art.

The process of converting oil drums into sculptures is both a tribute to man's imagination and resourcefulness in the face of dire economic needs. The artist first removes both ends of the oil drum. The ends are used for smaller sculptures. Next, the drum is stuffed with straw and lit on fire to burn off an residues. When it cools down, it is sliced down one side and flattened into a four by six foot piece of metal canvas. The artist uses a stick of chalk to draw out an image on this metal sheet. Next, with only a hammer and a chisel, the design is cut and the sculpture is made.
