etc.) cast in Lucite Acrylic resin. Specimens are farm raised to
ensure quality and that all of nature's beauty can be fully
displayed. This collection includes paperweights, key chains,
necklaces, bracelets, skeletons (fish, frogs, and birds), and more. These make wonderfully unique

would like a small piece of it for their own. Selections will
vary. |

| Handcrafted Haitian Oil Drum Wall Decorations
Oil drums are Haitian artists raw
materials. The process of converting oil drums into sculptures
is both a tribute to man's imagination and resourcefulness in
the face of dire economic need. These artists first removes both
ends of the oil drum. (The ends are then used for smaller
sculptures.) Next, the drum is stuffed with straw and lit on
fire to burn off any 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 then draws the design with a stick of
chalk. Next--with only a hammer and a chisel--the design is cut
and the sculpture comes alive with imaginative images. |
