## Description

The birds in this tree of life are ready to fly! A wonderful piece of hand-crafted folk art that transcends many decorative styles. A tree of life is a universal symbol which unites the earth below with the skies above.

## Features

- 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 is large, to straighten and secure the piece against the wall.  You want the nails to "disappear" into the sculpture - and they will.  Like magic...
- 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!
- Fair trade is vital to the village of Croix-des-Bouquets, Haiti, where the air rings with the sound of metal banging against metal.   Workshops line the streets of the village and outside each are stacks of discarded 55-gallon drums awaiting transformation. To begin the process, the tops of the barrels are removed and the open barrel is stuffed with straw and dried banana leaves and then set ablaze.  This burns out the residue and old paint and strengthens the metal.  After the barrels have cooled, they are slit down the side, pried open, pounded flat and sanded down, giving the artist a smooth flat surface, much like a painter's canvas.  The artist chalks his design onto the metal and then, using a hammer and chisel, begins the work of cutting the sculpture and giving it form, detail and dimension.  When he is satisfied with his results, he pounds his signature onto the sculpture and seals it with a protective, weather-proof finish.
