Recycled Scrap Metal Sculpture from Mexico, "Escorpion Rustico"
This sci-fi take on one of the desert's fiercest inhabitants will make for a very cool desk partner or an excellent conversation piece nestled amongst your shelves. Armando Ramirez hand-crafts it by putting together pieces of scrap 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.
Armando Ramirez has turned his childhood pastime of crafting toys into an art form that has allowed him to exploit his ingenuity and his creativity. He uses scrap metal from auto shops and bicycles to create sculptures, decor pieces, and even chess sets. The popularity of his creations has enabled Armando to start a workshop and dedicate himself full-time to his artistic pursuits.

"Amazing detail!"
Ive been waiting for this sculpture for months to give as a gift to my niece, who just became a veterinarian. I was in awe of the quality and detail of this piece, and I know that my niece is going to treasure it! I will definitely be back for more sculptures in the future!

"Clever design that looks even better in person"
Somehow the picture doesnt convey to me quite how precarious the hummingbird looks in real life and yet how solid it actually is. It also looks extremely cool.
