In Haiti, where metal is precious, oil barrels dumped there in the 1950's are salvaged and recycled. We've stumbled upon a collection of ornaments made of said barrels, pounded and molded into the shapes of birds and stars. With the days of Christmas waning, there is still a little time to pick a favorite ornament to add to your holiday tree or garnish a gift. Made of steel, they lack fragility and can be used from year to year and stored with ease. If "green giving" is a high priority this year, this company promises to leave "no carbon footprint," crafting each ornament by hammer and chisel in an electricity scare region, under the Haitian sun.
