If she doesn’t like her work, why is she torturing the rest of us with it? It’ll probably sell today along with some of her other stuff; leaving the rest of us with our mouths gaping in shock and awe.
Wtf is a cloche? Is that a Brittish something? Something along the lines of the rough trade? Yeah, I don’t normally like your work either, angihats. We have that in common.
Sick sick sick of self-deprecating “artists” on Etsy. For the record.
More whimsicle than whimsical. Or maybe whimsickal.
Efit, a cloche is a kind of a hat, supposedly shaped like a bell – a close fit on your head, with a flared brim hanging down. They were very popular in the 20s. This one, however, is at best marginally sort of a bit like a cloche.
You know, actually this is one I wish she had put on a real person…it’s kind of hard to get a full impression on a white foam head. In the interest of saying something nice, I bet it would be warm…
I’ve seen crap like this on different knitting boards and WOE to the person who dares say “Hey, that’s really fugly” out loud. These are ARTISTS and you just don’t GET IT, etc. What a bunch of crap.
Wow…. just WOW!!!! I only have 2 pieces of advice for the ‘artist’…
1) Pick a color and stick with it until you get the hang of knitting/crochet. You can even use 10 shades of blue if you want, just stick to ONE COLOR… and…
2) For the love of god, please find a pattern! That hot mess of a “hat” looks like the bag of yarn I’ve been meaning to untangle for the past year.
Speaking of that, I think I have a hat I need to post on etsy
@#65
That link is to a very different seller.. one who has talent. Her items are beautiful, and I think the one you chose is actually kinda cool and forward. I would wear it.
#66 J B :
You’re right about that seller. Her work looks very nice. But what does Etsy put on the front page? This pretty and well knit piece: http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33899055
or the tangled mass of multi-color strands that looks like it would strangle you if the wind came up?

“I don’t often like my work” should have been edited out of the description.
I’m tired of weird shit parading as art and given a ridiculous price tag.
November 11, 2009 at 2:05 pm
OH, also, it looks like the hat has a mullet.
November 11, 2009 at 2:06 pm
EeeGads!
November 11, 2009 at 2:06 pm
What I want to see, is on this person’s other listings, “I don’t often like my work, and this is no exception.” Truth in advertising
November 11, 2009 at 2:12 pm

Bloody hell…it’s a crocheted mullet! Oh, and forget ‘whimsical’…this one is ‘serendipitous’!
November 11, 2009 at 2:14 pm
“This looks like somebody turned a cat inside out and put it on their head.”
That was so awesome…
November 11, 2009 at 2:24 pm
What th…. woah.
November 11, 2009 at 2:26 pm
Is that a hole in the top of the hat? Air vent for the brain perhaps?
November 11, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Scrumble? Not even cloche.
November 11, 2009 at 2:30 pm
Kinda remonds me of the shotgun-blast-to-the-head pics on Rotten.com.
November 11, 2009 at 2:32 pm
And to think she did that without a pattern… shocking.

This not a cloche. At all.

For those of us old enough to remember The Bugaloos: Benita Bizarre would have adored this!
November 11, 2009 at 3:07 pm
She’s sold 3 funky hats, so somewhere people are wearing such things.
May 13, 2011 at 3:11 pm
Yes. This is exactly what is happening. I see around alot of shit and I a SURE some Idiots, somewhere are REALLY buying them. Unbelivable!
November 11, 2009 at 3:15 pm
#11, that’s for the dreads.
November 11, 2009 at 3:27 pm
That purple piece on the back looks like a tail. *Sigh* Of all the things she chould have made….

This one can make you look like a lantern fish!

Ooh! Now I know what to do with all my old test pieces and sample bits.
November 11, 2009 at 3:55 pm
At first glance I thought it was a mini-scale model for a Pasadena Rose Parade float……
November 11, 2009 at 4:05 pm
I think the Warren Commission created something similar while examining the Zapruder film.
November 11, 2009 at 4:10 pm
Serendipitous? try hideous.
November 11, 2009 at 4:15 pm
The only person that could wear this with total style is Dame Edna!
November 11, 2009 at 4:18 pm
so obviously the world is close to it’s ending…
November 11, 2009 at 4:18 pm
That is nothing short of a hot mess.
November 11, 2009 at 4:34 pm
ITS WHIMSICLE
I think the Woodland Faery Child lost her hat.
love how she says “i dont often like my work” omg who would say that in their listing!!
November 11, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Put down the crochet hook and step away slowly m’am.
It has a rat-tail…
November 11, 2009 at 6:59 pm
#26, it’s more than a hat, it’s a lifestyle.
You know, actually this is one I wish she had put on a real person…it’s kind of hard to get a full impression on a white foam head. In the interest of saying something nice, I bet it would be warm…
November 11, 2009 at 7:44 pm
scrapple.
November 11, 2009 at 8:20 pm
I think it’s even too garish for Dame Edna.
November 11, 2009 at 8:25 pm
Her hats are bad but her pottery is worse.
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33619010
Seriously, who is going to buy that? How can she even attempt to sell that in good conscience.
November 11, 2009 at 8:39 pm
This is the physical incarnation of a phrase we like to say when we make fun of the Limeys:
Bloody bumburger!
November 11, 2009 at 9:03 pm
Perfect hat for a gypsy dangler.
November 11, 2009 at 9:40 pm
If you don’t often like your work STOP WORKING!
November 11, 2009 at 10:19 pm
Looks like shit.
November 11, 2009 at 10:26 pm
Stop the senseless slaughter of ski sweaters!
November 11, 2009 at 10:43 pm
your right hellen.. it DOES look like a cat turned inside out.. there’s intestines, bladder, spleen, lungs, a little muscular tissue….
would make a cool hat for some internal anatomy fan…. otherwise this just looks discusting
November 12, 2009 at 5:04 am
I hope “I don’t often like my work” also applies to her shoddy ceramics
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=24433004
Really, 5 pics for that hat, but only 1 pic for this crappy overpriced cup?
November 12, 2009 at 5:06 am
It’s WHIMSICLE (and serendipitous, too). How did we get so lucky?
November 12, 2009 at 6:08 am
#34 – It’s not even hot. I guess it’s more of a tepid mess.
November 12, 2009 at 6:55 am
Hey, I don’t often like crocheted cloche, and I still don’t.
November 12, 2009 at 6:56 am
If you look reeeaaaaal close, you can see a vagina.
November 12, 2009 at 6:59 am
“I know finishing is key but it is also a convention amongst yarn/textile artists and designers. leaving tails goes against convention.”
Translation:
“I’m a lazy sod and can’t be bothered to weave my ends in.”
I’m going to start selling skeins of yarn and telling people they’re unconventional hats.
November 12, 2009 at 7:08 am
#50…etsy will let you sell your yarn..considered supplies
November 12, 2009 at 7:10 am

I was terrible, absolutely horrible, at ceramics in high school, and I made nicer pieces than those.
November 12, 2009 at 7:58 am
This is a clohce:

That hat is what happens when you get stoned in a yarn shop.
November 12, 2009 at 9:13 am
I’ve seen crap like this on different knitting boards and WOE to the person who dares say “Hey, that’s really fugly” out loud. These are ARTISTS and you just don’t GET IT, etc. What a bunch of crap.
November 12, 2009 at 9:51 am
#57 No I don’t get it> cause I ain’t buyin’ it
November 12, 2009 at 12:13 pm
#47 amen..
http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=7725690
there’s that – part of her GRADUATE?? collection?? She went to school to learn to create that crap??
I’d ask for my tuition back.
I’ll say the bowl i linked is the least ugly of the lot of ceramics..but still it looks like a toilet bowl in need of cleaning.
November 12, 2009 at 3:30 pm

As to the ceramics, how is anyone supposed to use the cups? The handles do not look big enough to put a finger through.
November 12, 2009 at 4:05 pm
As for the hat, I have no words, though I honestly tried.
November 12, 2009 at 9:06 pm
“3rd year graduate work” ¡?¡?¡?¡¡?¡??¡
Her family and friends need to do an intervention.
