We have 2 silent auctions ending soon.

First this amazing Vash the Stampede inspired Chocobo

You're looking for who? Oh no, no, this is Crash! Crash the Sand Dweeb! He's a very big fan of Vash the Stampede from Trigun, but as you can see, he's a bird!  This fellow appreciator of fine pastries features a fully wired neck, legs, toes, tail feathers, wings and primary feathers for posability.  The wings can also pivot forward and backward a bit for extra expression, and the jaw joint allows the top and bottom beak to pose independently of each other.  Standing at 12 inches tall with a 12 inch wingspan, made of a combination of superwash merino and baby alpaca yarns and filled with polyfil, this pleasantly soft companion is intended for adult collectors.  The glasses may be considered a "small part", after all, and the coat is clearly for refined tastes!  Speaking of, please don't leave your donuts unattended around this bird.

To enter go here.

Next we have a set of masquerade masks based on the shift pennants.

A set of five masquerade masks based on the Desert Bus for Hope Shift Pennants, including Omega Shift. They are carved from 6oz vegetable tanned leather, painted with white gesso and acrylic paints, sealed with polyurethane satin varnish on the front (and over the maker's initials on the back), and rubbed with carnauba creme on the back. Each mask comes with a 45" white elastic cord for wearing or hanging. The masks can be slightly reshaped with gentle pressure if needed (for example to widen or narrow the nose bridge for comfort) and can be wiped with a damp cloth.

To bid go here.

These auctions end at 6:00 PM PST
