I found this on etsy. He is made of felted wool. His maker also had a variety of egg-shaped felted people, including nativity sets....... I guess she's taking a break right now, but if you check in here in a few weeks, you may enjoy checking out her wares............
This was supposed to be a lump of coal, but he is such a lovely dark-chocolate color.... I think he is a truffle.
But if he is a lump of coal, I like the way he smiles in a satisfied and knowing way at those of us who have always been the bad one. The not-nice one. The one who notices when things are wrong, and who speaks up. The one who is not saying "Thank you, sir, may I have another"..............................
I should have put him on a darker background for his portrait.....................

Here is where he stays, on the base of my monitor, smiling at me.

See him, down in the shadows, enjoying one of my favorite seasonal youtube videos?
