Each hand made by our self-taught, talented artist Godfrey and his team based in Salt River, a suburb of Cape Town, South Africa.
As in real life, each animal has its own personality. However each ornament is approximately 3″ x 4″ and comes with a tree hanger. The set of three are packaged together in a box with a story card as a gift set.

Our partner, Thumbprint Artifacts, works with Godfrey who started his creative career making animals and cars out of coke cans in 2006. Now he has a small team that work with him in his workshop located in Salt River, just outside Cape Town, South Africa. Here he designs and makes a range of character animals out of recycled metal, tin, wire and beads – each screaming with personality – ranging in size from small key chains to life-size animals.
Godfrey’s team members consists of 'brothers' (dear friends) from Zimbabwe. They all have the ability to use a long nose wire cutter as a second hand. Godfrey recently moved into his new workshop and gives credit to the support he has received from Thumbprint Artifacts. His message is that 'this would not have been possible if I had not had the orders from your customers in America!'.
