Oooh! they are different, but a real reminder of what he wore.  I expected to see patchwork made from shirts.

Really nicely done but I find them... along with the bears and stuff really creepy.

es it a lovel;y idea and beautifully made but all a bit too 'Magic' for me!

Lovely cheesy 70's trailer for the film ... I almost expect an advert for the Taj Indian Restaurant just 5 minutes walk from this cinema to come on after ...

Alot of people keep saying they are creepy and I wouldn't have them on my couch but once I get paid for them I don't care what they look like.

I'm not a fan of the headless torso look either - but each to their own, and you got paid to make them  0_0

Lovely idea for the recipient ... but just a tad too creepy for me!
