Curl up with a good book and the Wire Cat Gift Bookmark. The cat–shaped copper wire bookmark is shaped from copper wire by the skillful hands of Kenyan artisans in Kisumu and the paper backing is made from water hyacinth. The 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.
