Sep 29 2008eBay: Needle Felted iPhone For Sale
Geekologie reader Chris went and made a wool iPhone and put it up for sale on eBay to see what sort of reception (!) it would get.
This auction is for a hand made (by me) needle-felted iPhone toy/art. Needle-felting has been a hobby of mine for over a year now and I decided to offer this one of a kind toy I made this week. This wool iPhone measures 4 3/4" X 2 3/4" and 0.5" thick. Made with great quality wool. This "toy" is not intended for children or pets. It is packaged in a bag with a Squid Wool card.
Bidding starts at $25 with $5 shipping. I'm pretty damn tempted to make a bid, but sadly, I've been banned from eBay. Some policy about not selling prescription drugs you found in your roommate's medicine cabinet.
Hit the jump for a few more pictures and a link to the auction.
Thanks Chris, can you make me a rotary phone next?

It seems like a good idea but I'm sure it would make my ears all itchy when I'm walking up and down the street shouting into it so people think I can afford and iPhone. I still want one so my cat won't feel left out when I'm planning his demise on my rotary.

"It is packaged in a bag with a Squid Wool card".
I never knew squids had wool....that's thrown me slightly. Who shears the squid? What does the wool look like? Is there an underwater squid farm I was unaware of?
