One of the great things about wire art is the many, many ways that you can use it. Last year we were approached by a young bride to be, Tracey Fairweather, and her mum Tess, to make up some special favours for her wedding guests. Tracey chose Frangipani (her favourite flower from childhood) keyrings for the female guests and Chilli (perhaps because the groom is hot?) keyrings for the men. A little while before the wedding, Tracey, rather mysteriously, ordered 49 Nguni Cow keyrings and asked that the artists should leave off the keyring ring holder. It seemed an odd request, but of course, we at Streetwires are used to unusual requests and always endeavour to make our clients happy no matter how strange the commission, so we produced and delivered the mysterious cows. As it turned out, the mini Ngunis were gorgeously mounted in a beautiful box frame, and as a tongue in cheek nod to the very African tradition of Lobola, were presented to Tracy’s Father. Thanks Tess, and the new Mrs Tracey Mc Gahey and husband Garth, for letting us share a little of your special day. May you have many years of happiness ahead of you. Oh, and if you need gifts for Christenings, Birthday parties, Anniversaries etc, you know where to come;-)
