sea turtle sculpture

This Sea Turtle sculpture is handmade in rural Pennsylvania with reclaimed metal. The pattern is drawn on the metal with soapstone, cut with a hand-held plasma cutter, hand-shaped and arc welded together.

Each piece will have its own subtle differences; they are cut, hammered, and built by hand.

The color is hand-painted with milk paint, giving the piece a naturally uneven and textured finish.  A clear finish is applied to the entire piece.

Each Gatski is a blend of imperfect materials and capable hands.

This can easily be hung with a nail or screw.

Care:  Wipe clean with a damp cloth. If outdoors, you can maintain a shiny look (optional) by applying a clear, metal enamel, available in a spray can at your local hardware store.

Size:  20"h x 21"w x 2"d
