Lilu

'We' did not sculpt this. I know that that will be the first question asked, so I need that clear right up front. This is a 'Soom Sard', a resin casting. However, he is one which has been elevated through the skill of his mama to a level of 'fine art'.
.
Lilu is literally one of the most well known Sooms in the world. Dollie aficionados call him by name. Many can even tell you he was born mute and what he likes for dinner. For those who think that 'kit dolls' can never reach the rarefied realm of fine art, we point to pieces such as Lilu and say, "Think again."
