NEW!! Wren Bird Key Rings

!! NEW PRODUCT !!

As a joint initiative with my Granny, her bead men and Wren, we have developed the

Wren Bird Key Ring.

The story: My Granny is always helping people. She has a strong creative streak in her that she willingly shares with others hoping that they can benefit from it. About 2 years ago she met David and Fungaih/Michael and has been working with them to make a variety of birds and flower pieces that have sprung up at every robot/traffic light in Cape Town. She bought animal books for them to study, almost all their stock (her house is like a bead gallery) and has helped them make a living out of their craft. I fit into this story as the person with the idea and the outlet. I thought it would be super cute if the Wren logo could be made into a beaded keyring…and so it was done.

How they are made: First the silhouette of the Wren bird is made out of wire using pliers. Then a thin wire string of glass beads is looped, twisted and wound around the bird frame. Lastly, the eye is carefully added.

The Wren Bird Key ring is approximately 5cm / 2″ square.

Each key ring is individual and is slightly different but I think this adds to the cute factor.
