I hope you like the final state of this project. It was quite a bit of work, but now I have a fantastical home decoration or centerpiece. I may eventually list it for sale on Etsy.com, although for now we’re treating it as a quirky new house guest.

It is not notably functional; although I have had friends offer their suggestions. Sadly most good ideas ( “Make it a lamp!” ) would require a completely new build: utility would have to be part of it’s design from the beginning of the project. It does however make a nice candle holder / nightlight:

Nightlight mode: activated.

A little something I made a few years back. I have a nice Sorting Hat to show you also, except (like ol’ Jack here) he’s unpainted as well.

Doesn't he look happy to see you?

You probably want either a close-up or one that sits still; I have both for you. Click below.
