Other words that come to mind are “what”, “no” and “plastic cereal bowl on a bent wire hanger for $14 are you out of your fucking mind.”

i always wondered what Deb ended up doing with all the mardi gras beads she collected after flashing her double ds at all of Bourbon Street. Good to know she upcycles.

I heart you right back, crapgawker.

Helen Killer — you slay me!

from the listing: “This mobile doesn’t exactly chime, but screams SPRING!” Uhmn, yeah, this mobile is screaming something — I’m not sure it’s spring.

“The color is like new grass and green sprouts of flowers and plants…” If that was the case, then I would start interrogating my wild birds to see what kind of crazy radioactive plants they’ve been crapping in my yard… or watching for the kamikaze chem-lawn man who must be vandalizing my property.

2.The LAST word anyone should use, in 2009,is “BLING.”

Yes, I must buy a Spring Is Here “dangler” since it’s November and Spring is long over. This was just listed a few days ago so it’s not even just something leftover from earlier this year.

@ 44- that second link actually looked good. For half a second. Then I saw that is was just a cheap plastic ornament, cheap plastic beads, and a wire hanger all spray painted. Looks like the total costs of all of her crafts is 15 cents.

MAN, all I have to say is, either the people buying her stuff all bought exceptions to her norm, or didn’t know they were buying totally cheap crappy stuff until it was too late (dun Dun DUN).

My darlin’ dangler chandelier wind chimes are put together with a smorgasbord of vintage collectibles and thrift store finds, with a few new treasures for a well rounded beautiful hanging art piece.

Theres nothig well rounded about this, least of all her sense of what is *art*

Okay, I once thought of a little rule I’d think of when selling my jewelry, but I think it should apply to Etsy as well:

If someone could easily make it themselves, then maybe you should think twice before selling it. If someone could easily make it themselves, but they wouldn’t because it is absurd, then DON’T SELL IT.

Some kinds of creative expression just don’t need to be sold. If my 5 year old came home from school with this I would proudly hang it in a place of prominence. When an adult throws stuff like this together I have to wonder at their level of maturity. Fun time crafts with the kids, absolutely, sell on Etsy? no frikken’ way.
