This is one of the first pet keepsakes completed this year so I though I should share it!
I was contacted recently by Zac who wanted a set of keepsake keyrings making in memory of their family parrot Alfie. This is the message that I received:
“I am looking for some items to be made for a recent pet we lost (Alfie the parrot). I've seen your Facebook page and your items look really good.
I have a couple of grey feathers, some of his peanut shells and some of his rope swing he used to sit on. I was wondering if it would be possible to make up to three items with them things listed above.”
Later that week I received a package containing the items and prepared a design for the keyrings.

The design was based upon a teardrop shaped resin keyring containing the flower, peanut shell, and a small sample of the rope swing, along with the name ‘Alfie’ formed using silver lettering.
I explained that the rope would need to be cut to fit inside the keyring and the white fluffy part of the feather near the quill is unlikely to be visible inside the keyring and is therefore best removed.
And here is the completed resin keyring containing Alfie the parrot’s feather, rope swing and peanut shell.

Zac received his parrot feather keepsake keyrings, and sent me the following message:
“I have got home and received your parcel, thank you very much they are brilliant and the fourth one is much appreciated. We all have them on our key rings now
I’d just like to say thank you again for making this such an easy process and you’ve been a pleasure to communicate with. I hope you enjoy your weekend and best of luck with the new year.
Kind regards
Zac”
It was a pleasure to make these keepsakes in memory of such a special family pet parrot ‘Alfie.’
