Beaded Dolphin Keychain from Guatemala

Take Flipper everywhere with you!

Our Beaded Dolphin Keychain

The beading on these blue and silver dolphin keychains is securely stitched into a woven fabric of beads and is very sturdy. Unlike some beaded animals I've seen that are beautiful and engaging but very delicate, these dogs are durable and with normal handling will hold up extremely well. Check out our other dolphins as well as our page of beaded animals and beaded keychains from Guatemala. When you purchase one of these unique animals from our collection, you help in a number of ways. You help save tapirs, because that's what we do. You help the local artisans in Guatemala who need an outlet for their work (yes, jobs!), and you help my new friend Catherine with her sustainable business of working with the artisans of Guatemala to maintain jobs for themselves and make beautiful art for many people around the world to enjoy.

About Dolphins

The dolphin is a toothed whale. There are many species in the world's oceans and rivers. The most famous Bottlenose is "Flipper". The Bottlenose gets it's name from its short, stubby beak. It's color can vary considerably, but it usually runs light to slate gray on it's upper body with lighter sides and pale, pinkish gray on it's belly. It can grow up to 12 feet long and weight up to 1,400 pounds.

Check Out Our eBay Auctions!

Although some of our items are not directly animal-themed, such as the tagua nut (vegetable ivory) jewelry above, they are all here for the same reason: the proceeds help us help the tapirs and their habitat in the wild.

You can check out all of our current auctions here. They change rapidly, so by the time you read this post, these items may be gone and others may be in their places.

The dolphin comes without the specs, by the way. You will need to supply your own! He isn't picky. You can give him just about any kind of gasses to hold on his nose. This dolphin may be the last of its type we're ever going to see. This is a discontinued item, and when we took the dolphin out of our online store, we didn't realize we still had one left!

What animals start with "D"?

That wasn't too hard. We have a plastic desert fox (above) and a plastic dingo (below). Both are in the dog family, too :)

I'm trying to stay away from generic names, so I'm not going to say "D is for dinosaur," but this dinosaur's name does start with "D," it's a dilophosaurus 3-D plastic puzzle. Dilophosaurus also has a lot of friends. Come see all of his dinosaur and other animal puzzle buddies!

Since dragons don't come in species (that I know about anyway), I will use a generic here and say "D is also for Dragon." We have several beautiful hand-made, hand-painted dragon pins, and dragon Peeper Keeper eyeglass holders, too! We also have other kinds of animals with the word "dragon" in their name, such as Komodo dragons, which are really big monitor lizards, and leafy sea dragons, which are very elaborate and beautiful seahorses.

This nice plastic damsel fish is another of our "d" animals that lives in the water. Hey, what about dolphins? We have those, too! In fact, we have lots of dolphins! Check them out!
