It's a rare occurrence for anything to cross my desk that leaves me utterly speechless. I honestly don't have any frame of reference for this. I guess I'm glad that I live in a world where an artist can make something like this and put it up on eBay:
Up for auction is sweet loving Jerome. He's trying to win back Natalie's heart with flowers, wine, chocolates and a romantic video. Not to mention the love letter in his hand. His head, hands and boots are all made of Sculpy clay and baked accordingly, as well as the chocolates, wine bottle, video and the buttons on his shirt. His hair was created using raw black wool from local sheep. Shirt and jeans are cotton and hand made also. No molds were used to make any part of this doll. Chair is cardboard constructed and covered in a flag patterned cotton material. His body is posable because he has a felt covered wire frame, but he seem comfortable sitting. Eyes and face as well as hands and boots are all hand painted. There is velcro on the seat to keep him from sliding. He measures 13 3/4 inches tall standing and 10 1/4 inches sitting. Chair is 4 1/2 inches wide by 5 inches high.
Start your bidding! You only have until March 19th to redeem Jerome's self esteem to give him the self-confidence to enable him to fight for Natalie's heart!
LINK thanks, Javier!
