These Silent Auctions Are Jarring

Two new and exciting silent auctions just started up! You have until 10am PST, so keep checking back to watch numbers go "Brrrrrrrrr"!

The first of our two auctions is a Stuffed Iron Fist Alexander, donated by crafter Blaine/BrainStew!

Stuffed plush of the Elden Rings character Iron Fist Alexander, a earthenware jar with arms

This warrior jar is stuffed polyfill and plastic beads, but not the corpses of great warriors, thankfully. His body is made of minky fabric and his lid of velvet. He is fully stitched by hand, since machine sewing would have made his delicate hands and shape hard to achieve at this small size. His craggy arms can be released from the usual pensive pose and reset if desired. He is weighted so he sits nice on a shelf or any surface without toppling over.

Current high bid is $420.69

The second silent auction in this pair is a Desert Bus 2021 Hat, donated by Charlie Victor

Toboggan hat, with white top and bottom. Middle is rows of yarn in Desert Bus shift colors

This hat is Desert Bus 2021 knitted for your head. Each colored stripe represents one shift of Desert Bus 2021 in Schmutzerella's yarns, with a special metallic green thread in the "Homega" shift to shine where we crossed one million dollars! This is a soft slouchy beanie that will stretch to fit a very large human head. All yarn is superwash merino wool and it should be hand washed with gentle soap in cold water and laid flat to dry.

Current high bid is $133.70
