How it's made
Handmade
A garden scene filled with Dragonflies in 3-D. Take time to zoom in and scroll over to see the fine detailing in this piece. Every bit of beading and contour was produced one blow of the hammer at a time. A wonderful piece of handcrafted folk art from Haiti.
Though it is protected with a weather-proof finish, this sculpture will rust over time, if exposed to outdoor weather. To prevent this from happening, grab a can of spray on enamel at the hardware store and go to it. Once a year should be plenty. It's a snap!
It's easy to hang your sculpture with just a few nails. Place the first nail within two design elements that are touching or notched. Then use a second and possibly a third nail, if the sculpture You want the nails to "disappear" into the sculpture - and they will. Like magic...
This piece will come shipped to you "flat." Don't be afraid to bend the wings of the butterflies out a little bit before hanging. This allows you to display the butterflies in their greatest 3-D
