“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.

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

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.

#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…

“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.

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.

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 :)
