“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.

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.
OMG I just cannot stop gawking at it – and – oh noooo – is that a bent wire hanger!!? WHAT ARE WIRE HANGERS DOING ON YOUR DANGLER? I TOLD YOU NO WIRE HANGERS EVERRRRRR!!!!!!!!

(Actually a band by this name, the Danglers) need to be careful with stealing anyone’s glory.
I appreciate that this person waste’s NOTHING (I can’t imagine what makes it into the trash bin at their house) and I too love Spring but I don’t think Spring appreciates this one bit!!!! Spring, in all her glory, is APPALLED by the serious misrepresentation here!
@ 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.
Y’all just need to get yerselvz some of them meth-tinted glasses. Trust me, all shall be revealed, and make a little more sense. Wait a sec, what was I talkin’ about? Oh!! Shit!! I got distrakted, my hot glue gun is drippin’ all over my vintage button collection (>>{W22# ooo! takeetoze!

Plastic cereal bowl WITH matching plastic tumbler! Wow. I think I totally need this piece of garbage hanging from my garage to scare off my family.
November 6, 2009 at 9:55 am
I have those green cups at home. I use them for scooping dog food, 4 for .88 cents at wal-mart.
November 6, 2009 at 9:56 am
I have those cups too. Maybe I can make some art out of them.

Hell, the seller doesn’t even know WTF it is!
Also please note that this particular bit of upcycled shit is ECCENTRIC not WHIMSICAL. It’s ECCENTRIC! ECCENTRIC, dammit!!!!

I was thinking that exactly.
I shop for craft supplies at the dollar store, too. But its crafts with my kids, not to sell.

Now I know what a gypsy dangler is….thought I met one once at a bar….but I stand corrected.

I’m thinking there might not be anything to do in Iowa besides make art out of garbage.

November 6, 2009 at 10:32 am
Mam, we need you to step away from the beads! Keep your hands in the air and no one gets hurt…..
November 6, 2009 at 10:46 am
Last time I saw a “dangler” that big and bold, I had to have a bit of a sit down. I also think a bit of sick came up.
November 6, 2009 at 11:09 am
Wind Chime? I’m curious as to what sort of beautiful tones would emanate from a Solo cup struck with cheap Mardi Gras beads.
Chandelier? How does this piece of shit generate any light?
Also, I used to see Gypsy Dangler dance at The Shangri La in Azusa CA back in the 80′s, for a couple bucks she used to squat down and…

At least she knows how to categorize properly. After all, something can only be whimsical if it includes incorrect word usage or misspelled words.

It’s not just a painted can, it’s a MAGIC painted can. Unfortunately it does not have BLING.

#25: VGB, you used to watch Gypsy dance as well?
November 6, 2009 at 11:36 am
the first thing that I noticed was that all of this “spring” business is suspended by what appears to be a mangled white metal clothes hanger.
November 6, 2009 at 11:39 am

As a gypsy who neither screams Spring nor dangles, I am insulted. If she throws in the time stamp, I’ll buy it.

I have those cups, recognized it immediately. Obviously, I will now be fashioning a mobile with it.
