These handmade wire bicycle ornaments with a raffia loop are the perfect ornaments for the cyclist! Crafted from recycled materials, including wire and tin, making each piece unique. Handmade by artisans in Kenya using Recycled Wire. The Story Behind the Art: Creative Alternatives works with marginalized producers in rural and urban areas of Kenya. The producers take pride in the product ideas they are able to develop and market through Creative Alternatives. The producers are self employed men and women, largely young and middle aged, who have failed to get formal employment. They have thus had to seek employment in the jua kali (which translates into hot sun in the Swahili language) sector. They work in groups, small family owned businesses or as individuals.
