Global Crafts Recycled Metal Gecko Wall Art, 8 in Blue Green Spotted

• HAND CUT RECYCLED STEEL: Salvaged metal is flattened, the gecko outline is traced and cut, and the surface is chased by hand before any color is applied, so tool marks sit under the paint. The figure is caught mid climb with its toes splayed and tail curled, an 8 in by 8 in silhouette that reads clearly from across a room.
• SPOTTED PAINTED FINISH: A blue green body carries a field of spots brushed on by eye rather than stenciled, in weatherproof oil paint that keeps its depth in sunlight. Because each one is painted individually, the markings differ from piece to piece, which becomes obvious and welcome the moment two of them hang side by side.
• WEATHER RESISTANT BUILD: The alloy steel body and oil finish are made to sit outside, on a fence board, stucco garden wall, porch column or shaded patio, and they move indoors just as easily. The piece is unframed, needs no glass and requires no assembly or batteries; it hangs flat and is ready to mount straight out of the box.
• INDOOR AND OUTDOOR PLACEMENT: Hang one above a doorway, climbing a stairwell, over a sofa or along a sunroom wall, or group three at staggered heights so they look like they are scaling the surface. The bohemian, tropical character suits courtyards, balconies and coastal rooms, and it makes a lively housewarming gift.
• HAITIAN WORKSHOP SUPPORT: Metalwork of this kind is a signature craft of Haiti, and each piece here is made by artisans working in safe conditions for fair wages. Global Crafts is a member of the Fair Trade Federation and buys directly from the groups that cut and paint these geckos, so the work stays where the skill already is.
