Architectural Salvage Darth Vader Helmet

Bellino Alain created this fascinating take on Darth Vader using what look to be antique fixtures and household hardware. The resulting helmet is equal parts dark side and floral panache. I love when makers take familiar forms and re-imagine them using discarded materials. A fine job, indeed.
