this would indeed be the center of conversation if she could say that she bent it with just the power of her mind….
BTW what is that brass-linked-sausage-y bit that is sticking up out of it?
I was at work today talking about the economy when I realized that the underlying meaning of the conversation was this fork cuff. It truely IS the center of every conversation in my life.
It also looks like she has a chewing problem, and has recently run out of pen caps.
That brass sausage thing is supposed to be the “hand’s” thumb. This “handy” cuff is really supposed to be a hand, but since forks only have 4 tines, they had to do something. I guess they thought the brass sausages was artistic or whimsicle. At least that’s my assumption on this piece o’ crap. ;0
She’s got another one that has the prongs all bent inward to hold a gem, which is kind of neat. To be honest, I rather like them. Her prices are ludicrous, though.
(on an unrelated note, how the devil do I get an avatar on here?)
I recognize that “yo cat” avatar as an etsy member that spun some crazy stories on the Etsy forums… Wondering if Helen used that avatar on purpose for that reason.
Could she not have attempted to make the transplanted digit look more like the others? Instead it looks like mini sausages were added to the fork. For $85.00 I’ll go buy a whole set of silverware and make my own thank you!
OUCH!
Hey, I’m kinda liking “awsomesauce”. I think I’ll try it out at a party. Like – “Wow, that new haircut is awsomesauce!
Hmmm… maybe it only works with Handy Fork Cuffs.
#23 Saraf :
Wowee! I’m totally stealing that. I never would have thought of painting random men in bed on plastic dinosaurs if I hadn’t seen this. Now I’m gonna do it all the time. Big thanks!
Fork Cuff Convo:
“Where’d you get that ugly bracelet? Hope you didn’t pay $85 for that piece of shit!”
“Fork you!”
“OW! Quit stabbing me your fork cuff!”
Have you decided it’s Halfassed Craft Week? If we attach some mirrors and pictures to this fork and then hang some beads and paper clips from it, will it protect us from evil?
Oh my gosh this was too fricking funny. The stuff you see trended on twitter, lol. If I had seen it I probably would have said something like that, too. I can’t help thinking how this would have lost some hilarity had the artist used a spork. Thank goodness for small favors, huh?
Oh, and thanks for the shout out, Regretsy! I know that some times some comments can get kind of mean here, and not every one is happy to show up here, and some just don’t like this blog and never will, but one thing for sure is that a lot of the stuff show cased here sells when other wise it would sit on Etsy collecting dust and racking up re-listing fees, so some good does come out of this, IMHO.
It’s finally happened. You’ve put something up that I actually like. I’d wear that, if it didn’t cost $85 and I wasn’t afraid it would get caught on my clothes and rip them.
Your comment and the item together cracked me up. Then I started thinking about the endless opportunities for life enrichment that would come my way, if only my vulva could FLY…. and now I can’t stop laughing.
About the gravatar, it does take a while to show up. Sometimes an hour or so. Kameko Hamato’s is up now.
#53 Thistle : Wish I could help but I don’t know why that is.

Why is it “handy?” Can it be unbent and turned into something useful . . . like a fork?
December 15, 2009 at 11:49 am
Spooning leads to forking.
Kill it before it multiplies!
December 15, 2009 at 11:52 am
Man, that’s forked up.
December 15, 2009 at 11:52 am
Hey, she stole that from my garbage disposal!
December 15, 2009 at 11:54 am
I love that it’s giving itself the thumbs up.

December 15, 2009 at 11:57 am
Maybe it’s supposed to look like a hand with a little brass thumb? So, it’s “hand-y”?
I think this seller’s real gem is the brass belly button brooch. Talk about awesomesauce!
December 15, 2009 at 12:04 pm
Here’s the 1 sold item. Is it just me or does this look like a flying vulva?

believe it’s the thumb…better to fork you with.
p.s.
I was wondering if it would fit over any other appendage…

THIS is the one that got stuck in the disposal:

Evidently someone was trying to fish something bedazzled out of the sink. And “Art” ensued.

oh.
i see it now…kinda like one of those 3-d focus pictures where the image just POPS out at you…
December 15, 2009 at 12:39 pm
#16 heh
December 15, 2009 at 12:53 pm
pussdaddy is gonna love this one…LOL
ok, i have seen (well-made) spoon rings and spoon bracelets…but a fork cuff?!
this is forked up…
December 15, 2009 at 12:55 pm
what’s the opposable thumb made out of?
December 15, 2009 at 12:55 pm
Piece of shit + fork = shork
December 15, 2009 at 12:57 pm
Oh how I wish she had this thing on Etsy instead of just on her flickr stream – how great would this have been for a regretsy entry

What is a fork cuff…is it a cuff link? A bracelet? Looks like it could snag on stuff like the semi-felt sweater.
December 15, 2009 at 1:15 pm
What is that copper part supposed to be? It looks like a scorpion tail. Or feces.
(@ eldatari: LOL)
December 15, 2009 at 1:36 pm
“trending topics…tiger woods”…bahaha
December 15, 2009 at 1:37 pm
$85 that has got to be a joke.
I have jewelery made of spoons and forks, they were made by a silversmith and cost a lot less than $85…
seriously…

December 15, 2009 at 1:46 pm
I think this is only “handy” if you’re Superman and can straighten out the cuff when you need to use a fork and then bend it back when you’re done.
December 15, 2009 at 1:57 pm
As someone once said: “If the only tool you have is a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.”
I see this artist has many problems.
December 15, 2009 at 2:03 pm
Would you be insulted if I told you to ‘fork cuff’? Especially if I said it after I said ‘Hurry up and shave Al Green’s in town’?
December 15, 2009 at 2:13 pm
#8 montrosa: After a few months lurking regretsy, everything is starting to look like a flying vulva – seriously, I’m seeing vaginas everywhere.
December 15, 2009 at 2:14 pm
When I’m not talking about fork cuffs, that is.
December 15, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Muahaha…. PussDaddy still remains one of my favorite people. Cool! (PD, not the fork)

#34 lilprincess, that’s why no California license plates begin with 4Q…… They jump from 3Q to 5Q, because of how 4Q sounds.

Awesome, I’ll never have to worry about buying take-out and forgetting the utensils ever again.
December 15, 2009 at 3:22 pm
This would like nice with the Frenzy Necklace. I kind of like the horribly disfigured sharp object’s.
December 15, 2009 at 3:40 pm
Helen, I’m having a baad week, and you Fork Twitter (Fritter?) cracked me the hell up to no end! Thank you!
December 15, 2009 at 3:40 pm

I’m surprised that no one caught that earlier.
This is something you wear if you want the world to Fork Cuff!

#26 Monstrosa : That’s weird, I had a gravatar but it isn’t working. But thanks.
#35 whatsupnow :
I feel your pain. Eventually all of Etsy is going to look like some technicolor pop art collage of female anatomy.
December 16, 2009 at 12:42 am
#1 It is “handy” because it comes with a thumb!
December 16, 2009 at 4:20 am
Love the faux Twitter feed, Helen. I checked whether forkcuff had turned up as a topic, and wahla!
