Silent Auction: Annie the Phoenixobo!
Winner: ZeldaZach for $1,699.20
There's no need for formalities, or remembering all of the many names she's been given; call her Annie! She's so happy to meet new people! And try new food. Final Fantasy has chocobos and phoenix summons, so why not both? Annie is all of this and crochet! Made mostly of polyfil-stuffed recycled acrylic yarn, and a very intensely-colored soft and fuzzy acrylic yarn accent, Annie stands at 11 inches tall, with a fully open wingspan of 13 inches. Complimented with lucite, glass and crystal beads, her wing feathers open and close on a pivot joint, her beak is hinged, and her tail feathers, toes, legs, wings, neck and head are wired for poseability. Not intended for children, or to have any contact at all with actual real fire. A not-so-subtle reminder that hope cannot, will not, be extinguished.
Donated By Orin Drake
At this point, Orin would have to do math to figure out how long they've been making chocobos, and that's not going to happen, so we'll just say "over a decade". With an adoration for video games and the neat critters that inhabit them, and a good few (MANY) years of practice in jewelry, plushie, and art doll making, it seems to have worked out pretty well.
