Also, I honestly can’t tell if that’s a loose thread or a shepherd’s crook? I realize it wouldn’t make much sense floating in the middle of the barn like that, but I’ve stopped trying to rationalize some of the artists on Etsy.

Thank you for clarifying that. I’m using my BlackBerry (putting up with glad tidings, comfort and joy and all that BS right now) so can’t see it that well. I was wondering if that was double ententre acorn doing a double entendre there. Now I know.

Funnily enough, I left a blue, non-heat resistive spatula in a pan of bacon once and the schmutz I scraped out after it cooled looked a lot like this. That’s the last time I buy cooking utensils at the Dollar General.
Aaand this will look even shittier after you wash it. Unfinished edges of haphazardly cut “recycled” fabric randomly zigzag stitched onto a t-shirt. For $46 plus shipping. It barely looks like a Nativity scene now; it certainly won’t after a couple of trips through the washer&dryer.

Hnph. Wholesale; 14 available. 100% recycled.
I already have a plan to put them out of business:
1. Pull ratty t-shirts that I use to dust, out of the closet.
2. Messily sew shit to them. (Sew shirt to other shit so to speak)
3. Get drunk and decide what said shit sewn to shirt most closely resembles and market as such.
4. Charge half of what they are charging.
5. Profit.
6. Retire in the Caymans.
It looks like two old bottles and a capybara surrounded by bacon (mmm mmm bacon)with a scarlet macaw flying over the left breast. But then again I have been hitting the eggnog pretty hard already…..
Haha love it, but there’s far to much detail in it for it to come from this seller. Tbh though they look like they’re about to place a curse on Macbeth.
And so it was in the days of drunkeness that a vision of Marcell the Shell With Shoes On* being born of the bottles of Skyy Vodka and Bombay Sapphire Gin beneath the beef jerky whilst the Christmas Pheasant flew overhead appeared unto the crafter. And the crafter did sew this in their artistic ability upon thhe shirt. And St. Helen and St. Bronc saw that it was “good” and did post of it unto the Book of Regretsy. And the FJL’s did rejoice.
Geez Louise! Isn’t it basic common sense to remove the loose threads from your product before you photograph it! But I guess it’s common sense to make sure your appliques look o.k. and not like fraying pieces of whatever, too…
I do wonder why is there only one acorn at the crouch. Shouldn’t there be two, really?
I actually like the idea for a shirt design, but the execution is pretty shoddy, especially for the price. The star looks like a giant bird, it should at least be yellow?
i’m very late on this but to me it’s a toss up between two little items for whats best about this shirt:
1/ that she didnt take the time to remove or even photoshop out the stray string accompanying JM+J inside the stick figure house, &
2/ that she’s named her shop gogh green as if she, herself, & her little hands have updated vincent van via her wonderful work to contemporary recycling persons from the hoover, alabama whence hails her shop to the international market that is etsy.
as an aside, there are a pair of tagalongs to the abovenoted which i would award [dis]honorable mentions:
• it’s $46, &
• she’s sold at least one of them.
though it’s difficult to say whether or not that sale was made to someone enmeshed & immersed in the great state of irony.
as an aside to that aside she’s also sold another of a tree, i think.
December 24, 2011 at 8:21 am
My nipple needs a star too.
December 24, 2011 at 9:34 am
And on the lower center of the shirt!
December 24, 2011 at 12:59 pm
As in “star-bellied sneeches”?
December 25, 2011 at 12:26 am
You are my new favorite person.
December 24, 2011 at 10:19 am
Is it a star? It looks like a drunkenly drawn parrot to me.
December 24, 2011 at 10:43 am
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I sat here for several minutes trying to figure out what a colorful bird had to do with the nativity story.
December 24, 2011 at 10:51 am
I thought it was a satellite dish…
All I could think about was the theory that the angels were extra terrestrials.
December 24, 2011 at 10:52 am
I thought it was the world’s worst stealth bomber, and also wondered how it related.
December 24, 2011 at 11:16 am
I still think it’s bird.
December 24, 2011 at 12:44 pm
The tee deserves the bird “pllltz”
December 24, 2011 at 12:26 pm
this is what happens when you plank on your acrylic paint palette while out photo graphing dead birds on stumps!
December 24, 2011 at 4:14 pm
I was wondering, too.
December 24, 2011 at 5:25 pm
I was torn between a painted bunting http://birding.about.com/od/birdprofiles/ig/Pictures-of-Red-Birds/Painted-Bunting.htm
or a hippy airline
December 24, 2011 at 12:57 pm
I thought it was one of those Christmas pheasants you hear so much about.
December 24, 2011 at 5:34 pm
Count me as another who had the instant reaction “pheasant”.
After a prolonged squint, I might agree on “angel”. There’s no way I can see a star.
December 24, 2011 at 1:02 pm
Looks like Joseph is flying a kite to me.
December 24, 2011 at 1:42 pm
Are your nipples as lopsided as the dummy?
December 24, 2011 at 4:24 pm
That’s a star? I thought it was a very colourful, low-flying airplane.
December 24, 2011 at 7:30 pm
I thought it was a sideways Christmas tree.
December 24, 2011 at 9:32 am
There’s an Avatar joke in here somewhere.
December 24, 2011 at 9:33 am
That’s the planet of the four-pointed stars, right?
December 24, 2011 at 9:55 am
The planet of floating mountains and stables.
December 24, 2011 at 11:39 am
The birth of Jesus avatar is clearly heralded by the arrival of Great Leonopteryx. if you squint really hard.
December 27, 2011 at 2:18 pm
Especially as it’s the “nativi tee”. Take out the “ti” and what have you misspelled?
December 24, 2011 at 9:38 am
I thought it was the Holy Parrot.
December 24, 2011 at 10:52 am

Awasted Away in Mangerville
A stranger in my bed
Oh my good lord Jesus
What is banging in my head?
December 24, 2011 at 1:04 pm
I immediately thought of Monty Python when I read this!
December 24, 2011 at 9:39 am
And, Lo, did the spaceship allow passage of the blue people, who didst build a house and place it over their shuttle.
December 24, 2011 at 9:42 am
Looks like hunters in a blind hunting ducks.
December 24, 2011 at 9:48 am
Call the Vatican! A crude-looking nativity scene can be seen in the random scraps of fabric that person sewed onto that blouse!
…wait. You mean this was intentional? Ugh, cancel that. We all know Jesus only works by accident.
December 24, 2011 at 9:50 am

That’s the flying spaghetti monster.

Ramen!
December 24, 2011 at 9:57 am
I like it, but I’m wondering if it comes with the strategically placed leaf penis.
December 24, 2011 at 10:23 am
It only has one nut.
December 24, 2011 at 10:28 am

December 24, 2011 at 10:12 am
why would you sew bacon to a shirt?
December 24, 2011 at 10:21 am
Why wouldn’t you?
December 24, 2011 at 10:32 am

December 24, 2011 at 7:38 pm
Schmutz happens. The seller is proof!
December 24, 2011 at 12:02 pm
I’ve been to Int’l House of Pancakes and Waffle House, but never Bacon Manger. I want to go to there.
December 24, 2011 at 10:15 am
If we abandon the holiday theme, we can see just how deep this rabbit hole goes:
December 24, 2011 at 11:18 am
Yikes! I’d wear it if it were in my closet, I’m not going to lie. Clean clothes is clean clothes….
http://www.etsy.com/listing/88510663/nativity-pillow
Your couch can match your shirt.
December 24, 2011 at 1:17 pm
Why is that baboon mooning Mary and Joseph on the pillow?
December 24, 2011 at 1:05 pm
Tigger got a facial for Christmas.
December 24, 2011 at 10:17 am
The most holy baby jesus just crawled out the primordial ooze? An interesting take on the nativity.

It looks like to aliens and a spaceship or maybe two vibrators and a flying pig.

Now a torso, that I could use
December 24, 2011 at 11:15 am
JEEEZUS LOVES ME YES I KNOW!! ‘CAUSE MY ARMPIT TOLD ME SO!
December 24, 2011 at 11:19 am
Maybe it looks better in person?
December 24, 2011 at 3:05 pm
Ah, an eternal optimist. …your glass isn’t half full, it’s over flowing, isn’t it?
December 24, 2011 at 12:03 pm
Dog trying to get out of sweater, partially opened Weber grill, or the baby Jesus?
I can’t tell.
December 24, 2011 at 12:10 pm
Wholesale ? Uhh… step away from that right now slowly. Believe me, everyone who has to repair clothes will thank you.
December 24, 2011 at 12:21 pm
I think Joseph and Mary were expecting something more like this:
December 24, 2011 at 12:25 pm
Sorry about my crappy stick wisemen. but you get what you pay for
December 25, 2011 at 11:14 am
Haha love it, but there’s far to much detail in it for it to come from this seller. Tbh though they look like they’re about to place a curse on Macbeth.
December 24, 2011 at 12:55 pm
I kind of like that… but not for that price, and better placement. and if I believed in Jesus as the son of God and all that.
December 24, 2011 at 1:29 pm
And so it was in the days of drunkeness that a vision of Marcell the Shell With Shoes On* being born of the bottles of Skyy Vodka and Bombay Sapphire Gin beneath the beef jerky whilst the Christmas Pheasant flew overhead appeared unto the crafter.

Nice use of Turkish Taffy. I’m assuming it can’t be washed, or let anywhere near the dog.
December 24, 2011 at 2:19 pm
Isn’t that a honey badger next to the 2 bowling pins?
December 24, 2011 at 10:50 pm
Honey Badger don’t care, and neither does the artist apparently, if she’s offering this piece of crap to sell.

December 25, 2011 at 12:28 am
This looks like me when I get up from a long session of quilting, in a particularly static-clingy tshirt dress I have.
Except I don’t try to sell it later.
December 25, 2011 at 2:23 am
I feel like Richard Gere in Pretty Woman: “You charge $100 an hour and you got a safety pin holding your boot up?”
You charge $46 per shirt and you can’t afford cotton? Or a real dress form?
December 25, 2011 at 6:32 am
I actually like the idea for a shirt design, but the execution is pretty shoddy, especially for the price. The star looks like a giant bird, it should at least be yellow?
December 25, 2011 at 11:13 am
Wait that’s a star? Maybe like a festive ninja star, but not like a wise men follow this star.
December 26, 2011 at 2:51 pm
