Oh, these look durable. Practically heirloom quality. You could pass these on to your daughter, and years from now, she could wear them on her wedding day. You know, if she had Claritin.
I can’t wait for people to make used toilet paper into purses. Has anyone crafted landscape portraits with used tampons and pads? I think those would be priced at $300.
@3 justajezabel – lol I can imagine someone walking around with reefer earrings.. I can think of a multitude of reasons he/she wouldn’t have them for too long..
yeah and that’s the beauty of it, at least they have a purpose! Not to mention, totally “green” and “upcycled” or whatever the f*ck people would call that
$14.60 for something I could pull out of my backyard? That’s almost as bad as putting moss + pebbles in a jar & calling it a terrarium… oh wait, it is just as bad.
Is it organic grass and straw? Guaranteed weed-free? Makes for an interesting show when the seeds start falling down the wearer’s blouse/dress. When they turn brown, I don’t recommend getting too close to open flames.

#20; $14.60. .60. .60? How? What? Of all the incomprehensible pricing I’ve seen this one stopped me cold. If she made them in oregano or thyme I cold see them being useful in a pinch (“this soup’s a little bland”), but wheat and grass? .60? I don’t feel so good.
ok so she’s bundled up the flowering heads of rye grass and made earrings with string…….. -__- *sigh*
not to mention i guess she didn’t look at things you are banned from shipping past your borders.
it is illegal to ship anything internationally that may contain seeds, dairy, or egg. lets not go into all the OTHER banned goods but this would fit into banned goods. and she offers shipping everywhere.. dumb!
Now why did I let my husband throw out that bag of lawn clippings? I wouldn’t even need the imitated amber beads because I would have real, brown colored, dried up, dog poop that I could use instead.
#45 The Blue Kraken, okay, yeah I thought there may be some sort of, I dunno, regulations on shipping plant life. And now that #55 needle girl has alerted me that these are on one of the coveted “gift guides,” I’m going to go be sick. Is there anyone else who would like to start a legit handmade/artisan goods site? Title it YouBetsy?
@#62 Lexiii “Featured on the front page, no less. That’s where all the shit lands.”
Seriously!!!
Why oh why do people wear earrings and hair clips in their photos..it’s gross and I’d never buy anything that is worn and can pass as unsanitary by the board of health! Didn’t anyone learn in grammar school don’t ever share combs/brushes/hats…Lice people…lice!
The reason that they do this is for display purposes – most of the people who have items like this will make ‘another’ one for the customer the one they wear is their display model.
There’s also the ability of the designer to change out the earwires to a new set for the customer or to use an ultrasonic cleaner or even a rubbing alcohol pad to clean the ear wire germ free
@#67 HypoxicHippo – I completely understand that, but at least make mention that this is for display purposes and you will be getting a new, unworn pair; or make note that “your earrings will have new ear wires.”

Now I know how they smuggle all that shit over the border. Anyone coming my way from the West Coast- I can hook you up with all the beads you need to make these- Bah hahahahahaaaaaaaa.
Hm. Those log ones http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=33532268&ref=fp_feat_4 are actually pretty cute.
Wait a minute.
FUCK. What has happened to me??! Apparently my constant viewing of the detritus of Etsy has caused my sensibilities to be deadened to the point where a hunk of plain old wood suspended from a piece of wire is now “pretty cute”.
Someone slap me.

W.T.F.
November 12, 2009 at 8:51 am
Someone smoked some grass when they made this.
November 12, 2009 at 8:53 am
Makes me itchy and sneezy just looking at them! I can’t imagine those brushing up against my neck all day, urgh!
On a different note, if you’re going to wear jewelry made of grass, shouldn’t you at least be able to smoke it in a pinch?
November 12, 2009 at 8:54 am

November 12, 2009 at 9:09 am
If you put these in your pocket for a week, you’d have enough compost for your house plants.
November 12, 2009 at 9:11 am
Adds a new dimension to the phrase- ‘You look like you were dragged through a hedge backwards.’
Can I get them in wheat or barley?

They made the earring from real grass but used imitation amber beads? So they’re grass with a bit of plastic attached.

“Imitated amber stones”? Try YELLOW BEADS. Those don’t look a THINK like amber!
November 12, 2009 at 9:33 am
Just what I wanted, someones lawn clippings on my ears!
November 12, 2009 at 9:33 am
Or a THING, either. -_-

And she needs a warning: Don’t go to a farm wearing these or you’ll be chased by hungry cows!!
November 12, 2009 at 9:37 am
@ #12 “So they’re grass with a bit of plastic attached.”
That sounds like something I pulled out of my dog’s ass.
November 12, 2009 at 9:42 am
@ #19 True. But you didn’t list it on Etsy for $14.
November 12, 2009 at 9:50 am
By “waxen cotton thread” she means dental floss.
November 12, 2009 at 9:54 am
What, no ‘grass’ sanitary towel?
Imagine the itching….

November 12, 2009 at 9:55 am
I wonder how long they stay green? If I buy them, I don’t want them going brown in a week or two.
November 12, 2009 at 10:00 am
I suppose, to be fair as it pertains to wacky pricing: the item is located in LATVIA.
November 12, 2009 at 10:00 am
Okay, $14.60 for the earrings, check
barley and malt…..check check
recycled beer bottle…check x12
home brewing still…
be back later
November 12, 2009 at 10:00 am
#20 I keep forgetting to check where the item ships from, so never-mind me.
November 12, 2009 at 10:01 am
#24 thank you.
November 12, 2009 at 10:03 am
OOPS
#25 Thank you
November 12, 2009 at 10:04 am
Wait, now that I know we’re shipping horticulture from Europe, I may recant.
November 12, 2009 at 10:27 am
I like these but I’d better pass, we’re in the midst of a severe drought in southern CA, and we’re only allowed to water our jewelry once a week.
November 12, 2009 at 10:31 am
Weed Eater…..check
November 12, 2009 at 10:33 am
And WHY is she wearing them?
November 12, 2009 at 10:34 am
the Native Americans use sage to ward of evil and such…just a thought
November 12, 2009 at 10:35 am
These stupid earrings don’t deserve puns or snide comments. THEY ARE STUPID
November 12, 2009 at 10:37 am
I bet Mother Earth likes them…don’t be a hater
November 12, 2009 at 10:37 am
Is “waxed cotton thread” the whimsicle term for “dental floss?”
November 12, 2009 at 10:42 am
#37 oh yeah, use it to remove the grass from your teeth after chewing your jewelry.
November 12, 2009 at 10:44 am
On second thought, I should order these for my wife, imitated amber is her birth stone.
November 12, 2009 at 10:44 am
I’m going to have to put it on the “table”…
anyone else notice the blackhead on her cheek?
Really bothering me…just sayin’
November 12, 2009 at 10:46 am
This opens up a whole new venue for obtaining supplies– the yard.
Why pay outrageous prices for materials when you can just stumble out the door and snatch some of Mother Earth’s free goodness?
Since we have no grass here, would anyone like me to make them a set of prickly pear earrings? Maybe a can cozy?
November 12, 2009 at 10:53 am
Have they always been featured on her page, or was that a post-regretsy change?
November 12, 2009 at 10:54 am
#35 Efit: Sounds like you need a hug.
November 12, 2009 at 11:04 am

the yellow beads look like Nerds candy.
November 12, 2009 at 11:42 am
Can you imagine trying to pull this out of your hair about five minutes after you put them on.
November 12, 2009 at 11:45 am
Makes a good snack for a vegan.. then they can floss with the waxed string afterwards.
November 12, 2009 at 12:10 pm
@#43 Stingray Charles – C’mere then, give us a hug. But these earrings ARE STILL STUPID and make my PMS look like kittens and rainbows.
what?
November 12, 2009 at 12:16 pm
#48: Sending you hugs and chocolates.
November 12, 2009 at 12:24 pm
Better send the hugs to Bella in agony. She REALLY needs them.
November 12, 2009 at 12:29 pm
so does Urban Legend…if you dare to get that close
November 12, 2009 at 12:40 pm
Ah WTF, I’ll hug anything.
November 12, 2009 at 12:47 pm
I tried it…if I stay perfectly still..I can imitate stone

November 12, 2009 at 3:21 pm
SAT WHAT????
They would last a week!!!! My god, someones been at the bong again.
November 12, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Gross- why do all these jewelry sellers insist on wearing the earrings in the photos? It’s like having toe jam on a toe-ring or something.
November 12, 2009 at 3:56 pm
Maybe she could put some type of sealant on them to preserve them? Otherwise, yeah, this is over $14 for earrings you may get to wear once, if that.
November 12, 2009 at 5:08 pm
I favorited them…hahaha I have a weak spot for plant earrings!
November 12, 2009 at 5:09 pm
Impractical, unimportable and what’s with the unfinished look at the top? Didn’t she catch the Virtual Lab on weed binding?
November 12, 2009 at 5:52 pm
Oooooh noooooo – is that grass sprayed with that stuff you put on dead lawns to make it look like it’s not dead?
November 12, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Goes well with this pair.

I should make and sell some mud pie hats to sell with the grass earrings and moose dung necklaces. Forty bucks a pop.
November 13, 2009 at 6:31 am
The earrings obviously suck but I’m even more repulsed by her camel toe earlobe.
November 13, 2009 at 6:40 am

No. Way.
I also love the excruciatingly precise pricing of this, #23.
November 14, 2009 at 3:08 pm
And when you’re done wearing them, you can crumble them into your one-hitter.
November 15, 2009 at 9:21 am
Caution: Do not wear around barnyard animals, they may gnaw off your ear.
November 27, 2009 at 10:07 pm
