Decorative Bookends, Set of 2, Fork and Spoon (Sleeping on The Job)

When you were a kid, do you remember making little figurines out of whatever you could find around the house? These small arts-and-crafts projects brought us many hours of joy. At Forked Up Art, we’ve taken that bit of artistic nostalgia and kicked it up a notch with our Sleeping Fork Man Bookends. Holding up books can be tough work, and it looks like our little fork man is sleeping on the job. The metal figure is designed in a sitting position with its head tipped slightly over to make it appear as if it were catching some extra z’s while on the clock. Place our little guys anywhere in your kitchen, bedroom, living room, office, or dorm to add a bit of creativity to your life. Place them on bookshelves so you can proudly display your collection of novels anywhere in your home or office. We believe in creativity and have a passion for creating household accessories out of everyday things. This passion is at the heart of everything we do, and we are confident that it shows in the quality and look of our products. It is our goal to have one of our little sculptures in every home or office in the USA! During the recession in 2010, founder Judson Jennings suddenly found himself without steady work and struggling to pay bills for school. While living with his in-laws, Judson — with his unstoppable passion for creativity — took a bag of flatware that his mother-in-law was about to throw out and created his first figurine. Forked Up Art now sells to over 1000 retailers nationwide and is dedicated to being the "Fork Authority of the World." Forked Up Art is now creating pieces for the yard as well as for tables, lamps, and chandeliers and is even creating jewelry out of forks and spoons. "If it's done with forks and spoons, we want to be the ones doing it.”

• UTENSIL DECOR: We design our sculptures with the visage of a person made from silverware such as forks and spoons. These sculptures can stand on their own without any need for screws or nails. Our sculptures make perfect decorations for the bedroom, living room, den, office, study, or even college dorm.
• COMES WITH 2 METAL FIGURES: Our decorative figurines come in a set of 2 to place on either side of your book collection. These book holders work great for both thin and thick books of varying weights. From small kitchen recipe books to large encyclopedias and textbooks, our figurines can handle it all!
• DISHWASHER-SAFE STAINLESS STEEL: These cute little guys can be washed without you worrying about them being destroyed in the dishwasher. The metal spoons and forks used to make our sculptures are durable and will last for years. With all this quality in our metal friends, it’s no wonder that our products are some of the best on the market.
• GREAT FOR TABLE OR SHELF: Use our creative sculptures to keep books steady on a table, shelf, or desk in either your home or office. Support your book collection with these lightweight stands that add a bit of flair to any room. These stands can stop your books from toppling over, protecting them from scratches and dings that can happen when they fall.
• ABOUT FORKED UP ART: Today, Forked Up Art remains true to its roots. Every single piece sold is handmade by local artisans in Utah. This makes each piece truly unique and enjoyable. Not only are our fork-and-spoon art figurines and other items appealing conversation starters, but they are functional too.
