Four Geckos Haitian Metal Drum Wall Art
Imagine a piece of art that not only adorns your wall but also tells a story of transformation and resilience. The Four Geckos Haitian Metal Drum Wall Art is precisely that. Crafted from recycled 55-gallon steel drums by talented village artisans in Haiti, this artwork is a testament to the beauty that can emerge from upcycling.
The creation process is intricate and fascinating. It begins with cutting steel drums, burning off residual oil to cleanse the metal, and then flattening the sheets to prepare them for artistic transformation. The result is a stunning, one-of-a-kind piece suitable for both indoor and outdoor use.
But this piece is more than just art. It's a reflection of Haitian craftsmanship and the enduring spirit of its people. Global Crafts, the brand behind this masterpiece, has a rich history rooted in the Peace Corps. Founded over two decades ago by Peace Corps volunteers in Kenya, Global Crafts collaborates with marginalized artisan communities worldwide. They import home goods, accessories, and holiday pieces to be sold in the US and Canada, each item a work of art with a compelling story.
Global Crafts celebrates traditional crafting techniques from diverse villages, using materials like carved wood, Kisii soapstone, cotton macrame, and more. With a strong commitment to sustainability, many of their products are upcycled or made from renewable resources. As a member of the Fair Trade Federation, Global Crafts ensures that every purchase supports ethical practices and community development.
Animal Planters from Likha
Looking to add a touch of whimsy and color to your home? The Animal Planters from Likha are perfect for you. These delightful planters are intricately handcrafted by artisans in the Philippines using natural materials such as coconut fiber, abaca fiber, and wicker.

Artisans then apply their decades of expertise to meticulously compact the fibers, shaping them into charming animal designs. The fibers are dyed using safe, non-toxic dyes, ensuring vibrant and environmentally-friendly finishes. This process requires strength, skill, and an extraordinary artistic touch.
Likha is dedicated to producing ethically-made products that span home decor to fashion accessories. They use natural and eco-friendly materials, often repurposed agricultural byproducts like straw, plant fiber, coco coir, sustainably-sourced shells, and recycled wood. Likha's sustainable ethos is evident in every piece they create.
