Lisa and I shop at good will A LOT, usually find great bargins and have never been dis-satisfied. Anyways, over a year ago Lisa found his white figurine and loved it to death. She is an art major and is really into painting, sculpting, drawing, etc etc. I think the cost was 3 bucks.

Anyways, it fell off the end table last week and broke into 6 or 7 pieces ( beyond repair ). She was NOT happy, as it was one of her favorite pieces.

I took the bottom off the base and found Circle of Love, Infinity and the number 683108 and decided to try and find a replacement. These things go anywhere from 49.95 up to 189.99 if you can find them, as this particular piece is out of production ( yea, art that is mass produced kinda defeats the purpose IMO ). But whatever, so any of you good will hunters look for this for me and buy it if you see it for less then 20 bucks somewhere ;)

I actually made something similar a few weeks back on my lunch break at work, so I could try it but not too sure how much she would like it :rolf

My dumb ass tossed a few of the chipped pieces already, marglass might fix it though

The Vday thing is probably my best bet.

That is actually a nice bit of art. Too bad it got broke.
