The Wire Elephant Gift Bookmark is there to remember your spot when you doze off in the middle of a story. The elephant–shaped copper wire bookmark is shaped from copper wire by the skillful hands of Kenyan artisans in Kisumu. The paper backing is made from water hyacinth, an invasive plant species has plagued Lake Victoria and severely affected the livelihoods of fisherman. Innovative use of this nuisance plant for crafts, including papermaking, is contributing to the rehabilitation of Africa’s largest lake.
