"Colorful and cute"
I have travel to East Africa many times and have purchased flip flop animal sculptures for family and friends but never for myself. When I saw the giraffe, I had to have him. I love supporting such a great project to recycle flip flops into awesome works of art. Lots of time and love go into making these forever creations. Colors are vibrant and high quality craftsmanship.

"Unique treasure"
I always make purchases for my family, but this one was for me!!! I first purchased Flip Flop sculpture animals for gifts in Tanzania , East Africa, I was excited when I saw them on Novica. Love this brilliantly colored zebra. Outstanding craftsmanship and a unique treasure!
