Many artistic tributes have been made for celebrities both dead and alive, but LittleBun's clothespin dolls have to be one of the more unique and adorable. Selling them through her very own Etsy shop, LittleBun has created cute clothespin dolls that resemble such pop culture icons as painter Bob Ross, 'Star Wars' characters Yoda and Obi Wan Kenobi as well as everyone's current favorite sitcom star, Sheldon from 'The Big Bang Theory.'
Based in San Diego, California, LittleBun doesn't just create portraits of celebrities, she also takes custom orders. Whether LittleBun portrays the likening of a granddaughter and grandmother or even a United States Navy sailor, she has "a doll for everyone," as written on her Etsy site.
