A striking statuette is crafted by hand from recycled scrap depicting a tailor busy at work. The unique art piece is designed by Mexican artisan Armando Ramirez and features a rustic finish from the natural metallic color of the auto parts which have been treated with a light coat of enamel for a subtle shine.

well worth the money

I head our local fire safe council, and I couldnt resist this sculpture for our fire department, which we work closely with. In fact, I went back and ordered more because our chief loved it and thought we could make it the basis of an annual award to a firefighter or fire prevention staff member. A friend whos a woodworker is going to make redwood bases for them, so we can get a trophy shop to engrave and mount descriptions. This is all very exciting!
