BOBBLE TIKI: IT'S NOT A SNOW JOB >>>

If you are anything like Bobble Tiki you dig eBay. Some sad sack just swooped in on an ending eBay auction and blew $40 on Bobble Tiki’s rusted-out Six Million Dollar Man lunchbox. Sweet!

The latest items that pique Bobble Tiki’s interest on eBay are the Snow Job sweaters that covered Richard Rhode’s stone wave sculpture in the middle of the Tacoma Art Museum last December. The sweaters â€" one of three exhibits created by Tacoma artists Marc Dombrosky and Shannon Eakins as part of their Snow Job installation â€" currently sit on Goodwill’s eBay page waiting for your hard earned money.  Dombrosky and Eakins donated the sweaters to Tacoma Goodwill and Tacoma Rescue Mission through its Need-a-Break agency. The artists blog about it here and here buy not here.

The sweaters came from various estate sales and bulk-clothing lots with help from Jordan Tart at Pure Clothing. Shannon and Marc are known for their unique ways to re-purpose and recycle materials in their work. With this, they saved the sweaters from the landfill, added value to them, and donated them back to the community. So nice.

With Goodwill, they’ve divided up the sweaters and are listing them over a four-week period. New auctions are posted every Wednesday, starting at $9.59 each.

Cool fact: The stone wave has more than 650 stones. Dombrosky and Eakins only covered the top stones, which total close to 500. There were several hundred sweaters, but they didn’t keep an exact count.

Well Bobble Tiki’s friends, it’s time to blow this joint and squish all of the dollar stores with Bobble’s new Everything's Ten Bucks So Shut The Hell Up And Quit Asking store. Bobble Tiki’s gonna make a mint on this one. Maybe he’ll sell some of the goods on eBay. TGIF!
