Woody Beach Wagon

A time way back Surfing Beach movies like "Beach Party" "Bikini Beach" and "Beach Blanket Bingo" were all the rage. Every teen wanted to grab a Surfboard, put on their swim suits or bikini and head to the sandy shores for a day of Fun in the Sun. Always ending each day with a big Bonfire or Beach party with a group friends when the sun set. The Beach became the place to hangout and have fun, a place to enjoy life.

Many people ask us about how our Haitian metal wall Art is made. Unlike many machine made Metal art works you see in various stores, our Haitian Art is all Hand Crafted from recycled oil drums by talented artisans. The first step is they remove all the paint and residue from the oil drum. This is completed by burning fires inside the oil drums. The oil drums are then pried opened and flatten. Once flatten each Art piece is outlined on the metal using pre-cut templates. The Artisans then begin cutting the metal by using a hammer and chisel to cut out the design. The Art pieces are then formed into their shapes by bending the metal. The edges are then carefully sanded down and smoothed to remove any rough surfaces. Each piece is then thoroughly coated with special anti-rusting solution. Finally the front of Art Piece is expertly hand painted using high quality vibrant Caribbean colors. This remarkable crafting process makes each Haitian metal Accent piece a truly wonderful Work of Art.  For more added protection you can shield your Haitian Art piece by coating it with a crystal Clear enamel spray twice a year. So decorate your outdoor walls with our marvelous Haitian metal wall art and watch your outdoor settings come alive with color.

Can color help our moods?

      Can color have an effect on our moods or even our health? Now days some might say the color of green, as in the color of money, can help improve our moods and health. I believe purposely adding certain colors in our homes and work place would aid us in mood lifting. For example, I would think waking up to a cloudy gray day does not help ones mood. Where waking up to a bright sunny day will make someone more positive about the day ahead. According to artists color is very important to ones mood. I am not saying that waking up to a overcast cloudy day and finding you just won the 25 million in last nights Lotto wouldn't help your mood better then just a sunny day when you find your last months Rent check bounced. Its just to me color is very important to bring out the positive vibes from within oneself.
