Stephen Moyer

The extent in which Stephen Moyer inspires his fans’ creativity seems to have no limits. Drawings, paintings, jewelry, dolls, bookmarks, pillow cases, cookies and socks where created and sold in support of Stephen’s favorite charitable causes. But what we are auctioning off this week, on honor of the True Blood episode directed by Stephen, is completely unique and never seen before.

Our dear friend TypOneg aka Pat is without a doubt one of Stephen’s most dedicated and loyal fans, she even tracked him down in the Canadian woods with her friends while he was there filming The Barrens. Pat has dedicated many hours and no doubt a couple of sore fingers creating an amazing one-of-a-kind wall hanging, inspired by our favorite Essex lad.

 

 

This is what Pat says about her inspiration and work.

Last fall, looking for a way to help pass the long wait before Season 5 (besides wandering in the woods outside Toronto, that is), I came up with the idea of making a Bill wall hanging. Since the moment he stalked his way into Merlotte’s, I’ve been intrigued by this brooding, enigmatic, self-loathing, but one-woman man, er vampire…as well as his alter ego, of course.

I first found the fabric: purple, black, and red, high-quality, all-cotton. Then I added the photos (photo-transfer fabric); some of my favorite Bill images. And a few embellishments. It’s washable, by hand, in cold water. The wall hanging can be ironed, at a cotton setting. The pictures should be pressed at a low steam setting: silk or wool. And best not to expose them to direct sunlight.

I’m not sure how long it took to make in total; it doesn’t really matter…it was a true labor of love. Enjoy!

The wall hanging is 38″ x 38″ (96.5 x 96.5 cm).

 

Pay close attention to the enormous amount of detail that was put into the wall hanging. Click images to enlarge.

 

Not only does the auction winner receive the wall hanging, but also this photo signed by Stephen Moyer.

 

The auction will benefit Facing The World*.

* Facing the World is a UK based non-profit organization that provides life changing facial reconstructive surgery for children with severe facial disfigurements who are not able to access the surgery that they need in their own countries.

It is absolutely heartwarming to see how the money we all have helped raise together for Facing The World is being used to help those who need it the most.

British Channel 5 wil broadcast an episode of their program Extraorindary People that is dedicated to Viet, who was brought to London by the Facing The World team to treat his severe facial deformity.

Channel 5 – Thursday June 28 at 21:00 UK time.

Little Viet was born with one of the world’s rarest facial deformities: a cleft palate and bilateral facial clefts. In the bone on each side of his face the two-year old has a two-inch gap, which will increase as he grows. His condition does not just affect the way he looks; it makes him blind in both eyes too. If Viet doesn’t have surgery now, he will not be able to speak or eat properly – ever. This documentary is the story of one British medical team’s attempt to rebuild Viet’s face and offer him a future.

Viet’s mother, Nho, has been desperate for something to be done ever since her son was born. Now she has found hope in the form of Niall Kirkpatrick, one of the world’s leading cranio-facial surgeons. For years Niall has been going to Vietnam to help children with facial disfigurements, but when he meets Viet, he decides that his case is so complex that he needs to bring him back to the UK for surgery. We follow Viet and Nho as they travel from their small fishing village to London.

As Niall and his team embark on a series of lengthy and extremely challenging operations on her son, Nho has to cope with homesickness, anxiety and deeply unfamiliar surroundings. But if the operations have the effect everyone hopes they will, it will transform both of their lives.
