{"product_id":"recycled-metal-pig","title":"Recycled Metal Pig","description":"\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eA standing pig in reclaimed sheet steel, built to be put somewhere specific - the end of a console table, a doorstep, the edge of a planter. Rounded through the body, ears cut by hand and set at a tilt, a curl of coiled wire for the tail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe steel comes from Zimbabwean scrap yards and end-of-life material. Each pig is cut, beaten over a form and welded by hand, then finished in a chalk white worked back across the shoulders, flanks and haunches so the metal shows through underneath. The snout and trotters are left dark. On the larger sizes the makers have more room to work, so panel seams and rivet heads stay visible along the flanks - the construction is part of what you're looking at rather than something buried under paint.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eWeld lines and small breaks in the paint are how these are made. No two come out the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSmall\u003c\/strong\u003e — 13 × 6 × 7cm, about the length of a postcard\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\u003c\/strong\u003e — 15 × 7 × 10cm, about the size of a house brick\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLarge\u003c\/strong\u003e — \u003cem\u003e(to follow)\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eFine outdoors, where the paint will soften and the exposed steel deepen.
