STORY

To crafted the hand-painted Jump For Joy Frog, artisans cut open 55-gallon drums, pound them flat, and then mark designs with chalk. Using a chisel, they cut through the metal to make designs. Among HaitiÆs most original art forms is the cut metal work from Croix des Bouquets, a small village outside of Port-au-Prince. The tradition began in the early 1930s with Georges LiataudÆs imaginative cemetery crosses crafted from recycled metal.
