About Marilyn Andrana firavaka

Marilyn dia andrana firavaka vita amin'ny volafotsy 925 tsy voapetaka indray ampiasaina (recycled). Ny andrana dia ahitana rado, fehikitro ary kavina. Ny endriny miova sy mikodiadia dia maneho ny fikaronkaronan'ny rambon-drivotra sy ny onja eny amoron-dranomasina. Isaky ny sombiny dia noforonina tamin'ny fomba fanidinana savoka very (lost wax casting) sy ny teknika mahazatra amin'ny mpanao volamena, ary vita famaranana miendrika mate misy solaitra. Ny ampahan'ny rado dia mifandray amin'ny teboka mifandanja tsara, ka ny andrana manaraka ny fihetsiky ny mpanao azy. Ny fehikitro kosa manaraka ny endriky ny hatokazo, ary ny kavina dia maivana sady miolikolika manakaiky ny tarehy. Mety amin'ny hetsika manara-penitra sy antonony ihany koa io andrana io. Atao ao Sonkajarvi, Finlandy ny famokarana.
