Best surprise birthday gift to receive
Somewhere back in Spring, I'd been talking about Hunchback merch to an artist friend of mine and specifically I've never been able to find a recreation of the woven band in the film, official or fanmade, for sale anywhere in my years. The conversation moved on and I forgot it happened... until yesterday, when I go to pick up a package arriving from the US containing my 30th birthday gift.
From having done the customs declaration together, I knew it contained a 'wooden necklace', but he'd been oddly smug about that fact that I still didn't know the design.
Not in a million years was I prepared for what was going to be inside the wrapper.
Completely handmade, containing no plastic pieces, with the wood literally from the apple tree on his yard.
This is so far outside of what he normally does but I'd feel bad not plugging him a little bit, so check out his relief print shop on Kofi if that's something you're interested in!
