My boyfriend loves his Jeep

...so when I was brainstorming something that I could make for him out of clay, and cute little fuzzy animals was nixed, Rubi (the Jeep!) came straight to mind. Problem? I don't often do inanimate objects. I think one of my strong points with clay is being able to add an adorable factor with the eyes... inanimate objects don't (usually) have eyes.. but it was worth a shot!

It is rather difficult to find a simplistic picture of a jeep online (or, at least my search for "cartoon jeep" yielded little to no help) so I used one of our favorite pictures and improvised

If you look closely, you can (maybe?) see the mud on the tires

(I'd be lying if I said that wasn't my favorite part!)

I was planning on adding some rocks on the inside of the glass (it's on his desk at his office being used to hold pens!) to give it a more solid background, but didn't get to it before he surprised me with a visit. If he adds some I'll add another picture on here in the future ;-)
