Spring Flower and Butterflies, Handmade Fair Trade 15.5"x11"

Bring the charm of nature into your home or garden with these beautiful Garden Butterflies wall sculptures, each measuring 15.5" x 11". Handcrafted from recycled 55-gallon steel drums, this set of two butterflies is a stunning example of traditional Haitian metal art. Each butterfly is carefully hand-carved by skilled artisans using simple hand tools, giving them a distinctive, rustic charm.

Story Behind the Art:
The process of creating these metal sculptures has been passed down through generations of artisans in a small village in Haiti. The work begins with a recycled steel drum. The artist first removes the top, stuffs the drum with dried banana leaves and straw, and ignites it to burn off any residue and paint. After the drum cools, it’s pounded into a flat sheet of metal, and the artist carefully sketches the design before carving it with a hammer and chisel.

This sustainable craft provides a living for over 100 families in Haiti, allowing them to thrive through their artistry. By purchasing this handcrafted metal sculpture, you're supporting fair trade practices and contributing to the livelihood of talented Haitian artisans.

Each piece features natural color variations, from dark silver to rustic browns, making every butterfly a unique work of art. Whether hung inside or outside, these butterflies will add a touch of beauty and culture to any space.
