About this item

This extraordinary train locomotive sculpture is a testament to creative upcycling and artistic ingenuity. Handcrafted from an eclectic combination of recycled metal parts, decorative paper, and mixed media materials, this piece transforms discarded industrial components into a charming folk art treasure. The body features ornately patterned papers in golds, greens, blacks, and oranges adorned with intricate geometric designs including diamonds, circles, and scrollwork. Vintage-style text and imagery embellish the cabin windows, while the wheels incorporate actual mechanical parts with visible gauges. The crowning glory is a dramatic plume of white and cream feathers erupting from the smokestack, adding whimsy and movement to this industrial-meets-artistic creation. Each element is carefully assembled with visible screws, wire, and metalwork that celebrate the sculpture's handmade, rustic aesthetic. This one-of-a-kind, unique, whimsical train engine is handcrafted from chipboard and Graphic 45 Enchanted Forest paper collection. The train engine has a coordinating mini album hidden inside the back end of the train behind a magnetic door.
