Blue tit felt

She's small, she's nimble and cheeky, and she has no problem scampering around on the outermost branches of a tree, even hunting upside down for small spiders and insects. With its strikingly colored plumage, its almost confidential closeness to humans and its cheerful chirping, the blue tit is one of our most famous songbirds.

This lifelike hand-felted blue tit will not hang upside down from your decorative branches - unless you absolutely want it to. But it will make up for it amid your room decorations, whether from the branch in the vase, on the wall or on the Sunday table, just as cheerfully announcing the awakening of nature and the colorful diversity of life. And because it is made of pure New Zealand virgin wool, obtained in an animal-friendly way, it will bring you renewed joy from year to year.

During her backpacking tour through Nepal, the Dane Gry Staunstrup got to know the astonishing openness and warmth of the country’s inhabitants, and their craftsmanship bedazzled her. She was able to observe in detail how adeptly and skilfully Nepalese women felted wool into a wide variety of objects. Staunstrup felt it was time to make something good out of the untapped potential, and an idea was born: to combine Nepalese handicrafts with Danish design. And the idea was immediately followed by action.

The company Gry & Sif started producing a variety of products made of wool felt in Nepal in 2000. The designs created by Gry Staunstrup are as remarkable as they are understated and, characteristic of Danish design, at the same time fresh and merry. Nepalese women turn them into products employing traditional handicrafts. Fair Trade certified by now, Gry & Sif stands for fair wages and working conditions, environmentally conscious production and transparency. The company exclusively sources pure new wool from New Zealand sheep for the felting; each of the resulting products is handmade and unique.

This product is an example of genuine handicraft; therefore, minor deviations in size and colour may occur.
