About this item: As the motor roars into life, rotors begin to whirl and this rustic helicopter is ready to lift off. Armando Ramírez crafts the chopper from an amazing assortment of recycled metal and automobile parts. Sheet metal scraps, a timing chain, spark plugs, springs, washers, screws and wire all find a new life in this unique sculpture. The artisan does not give his sculptures a fine polished finish, therefore smudges and scratches may be present – Each work is unique. Recycled parts will vary from piece to piece based on availability. – Features a rustic, rugged finish About our Artist: Born in a Mexican town famed for its traditional artistry, Armando Ramirez dreamed of creating something new. ‘As a child I enjoyed inventing toys, and soon yearned to create a unique style of art. Environmentally enamored, I now transform recycled goods. I began to craft figures from scrap and discarded mechanical parts, mostly from cars and bicycles. Thanks to the creativity that God gave me, today I have an enjoyable and better way of life.’Size: 8″ H x 12″ W x 15″ D
