Our Authentic Handcrafted Beaded Wire Animal Figurines (African Fair Trade) from Africa’s talented bead crafters, make wonderful gifts and home decor! Shimmering beads adorn these cute animals. Each beaded animal is created by shaping heavy gauge galvanized steel wire into a frame in the shape of an animal. Next, the crafters bead colorful, shimmering glass seed beads onto finer wire and wrap and secure the beaded wire over the animal frame. It can take many hours to produce a single beaded animal and the results are amazingly realistic.Wire crafting is an original African art form springing up from unemployed men creating these wonderful bead animals from recycled materials and scraps. It soon became a recognized art form capable of supporting many dedicated and talented African crafters. By improving the lives of these artists and being exclusively handmade, these African Fair Trade products offer something unique and identifiably African for a global market that appreciates products created with skill and integrity. (We guarantee these beaded figurines to be directly from Africa and not Chinese copy-cats).
