DESCRIPTION
The basic frame of the framed of the flower is created using wrought iron, which is powder coated with a black finish. Capiz is an oyster shell and the primary purpose of the oyster is as a source of food. However, the by-product, the shell, can be used for decoration. Due to it being a natural material, the natural colors of the capiz come through as tans and browns underneath the paint. The shell is then painted the bold colors you see. The entire front facing piece is carefully hand-painted keeping in mind the reflective qualities in the color. From a distance, the five flowers look as if they are growing from tilted soil. The artisan spent time on the details as well; using metallic foils, to accentuate the reflective properties of a flower in full bloom. By manipulating the metal work, the artisan also gave this piece texture and depth. The final product will accentuate any wall with its color, depth and handcrafted qualities. Dimensions: 23in x 1in x 15in
