Felted Spleen in Specimen Jar (Quirky Get Well Gift)

$32.00
Gift wrapping:
Options available

There's nothing funny about cancer, but if you or a loved one is in the middle of fighting it, a chuckle over something as ridiculous as a tumor with googly eyes might be just the thing to bring a little unexpected cheer.

Spleen Dimensions: 3"
Jar Dimensions: 5"

A spleen with gigantic googly eyes has been handmade out of wool fiber through the time intensive but always rewarding craft of needle felting. This is a great gift for that friend or loved one with an off beat sense of humor, especially if they just had surgery and need a little get well present! 

The spleen is a deep shade of plum with red and blue accents. This lonely little guy sits upright and stares longingly out of the specimen jar that's now his home. It's permanently attached to the bottom of the jar. 

In addition to the felted spleen and the glass specimen jar with lid, you will also receive a sticker label to secure to the outside of the container, which makes this odd ball gift all the more personal. 

If you're shipping this gift directly to the recipient and would like me to fill out the label and attach it, I'm happy to do that for you. Please let me know in the notes section at checkout. 

On the label, you'll get to fill out things like:
- Type of Specimen
- Previous Owner
- Date Removed
- Years Together

- Message(s) from Specimen including: 

- Message(s) from Specimen including:

- "Sorry about the rupture"

- "Please take me back"

- "We had some good times"

- You can also add your own message in the blank space at the bottom.


We do make other felted organs: tonsils, heart, brain, stomach, lungs, intestines, kidneys, bladder, gallbladder and uterus.



Tumor Dimensions: 2" tall
Jar Dimensions: 5" tall, 3" in diameter

The lumpy tumor has been needle felted out of dark pink and red wool fiber. Some almost-realistic texture is achieved by layering a thin layer of black wool fiber overtop. This lonely little tumor is able to sit upright and stare longingly out of the specimen jar that's now his home, and it will be secured to a thumbtack at the bottom of the jar, but if you'd prefer to be able to remove it, just let me know in the note to seller box at checkout and I'll skip the glue. 

In addition to the felted tumor and the glass specimen jar with lid, you will also receive a sticker label to secure to the outside of the container, which makes this odd ball gift all the more personal. If you're shipping this gift directly to the recipient and would like me to fill out the label and attach it, I'm happy to do that for you. Please let me know at checkout. 

On the label, you'll get to fill out things like:
- Origin of Tumor
- Previous Owner
- Date Removed

- Message(s) from Specimen including: 
- "You're better off without me."
- "I'm benign! Take me back!" 
- "I had a lot of growing left to do."
- "I thought nobody would notice me."
- "Cancer sucks, but you're pretty rad."
- "The only bad part of you was me."
- "Other" - you can add your own message here if you like.

This was the perfect gift for a friend who was out due to his appendix. All that mattered to me was that the recipient liked it which he did and he thought it was hysterical. Bonus that his girl friend is in the medical industry and she also found it funny. :) I would totally buy this (and other felted internal organs) again!
