Ok, I’d buy the painted pasta strand being strangely sophisticated, in that it almost looks like jewelry. Adding the windup platypus takes away any chance of sophistication. It’s kinda cute though.
Oh Gee this looks like my First grade art project. No wait I think I made this in kindergarten once. Gee Mrs Craft lady did the teacher give you a good grade I sure hope so.
I’m so glad I saved all those shitty Happy Meal toys from when I was a kid. With all the pasta I hoard in case of a worldwide carbohydrate shortage, I’ll be freakin’ rich!
the perfect accessory for show n tell …oops i mean your next meeting at the office.
i think i made this in camp once but i had the sense to keep the wind up toys out of it. lol
I have no words. This place makes me (daily) walk the line between laughter and just giving up being an artist. Stuff like this makes me want to quit; it’s so freaking depressing.
The nail polish and plastic platypus push this pasta to new levels of BUY. Gotta wear this for my next kindergarten dance. My imaginary friend date will be so enthralled by my whimsicle sophistication.
Lesson to seller: Do not give away your process in your description! You’ve just told the world how they could easily make their own pasta necklace and undercut your price!
Now you’re going to be seeing pasta necklaces for $45 and everyone is going to buy THOSE instead of YOURS.
If it had a wind up Bill Nighy, I’d consider it. In fact, maybe that guy ought to be making these. I’d get a wind-up Conan necklace, even IF it were made of ziti.
If this was made out of real beads–you know, the kind that aren’t FOOD, the kind that aren’t going to get mushy and rotten in six weeks even with your amazing nail-polish preservation process, the kind that don’t cost $1.50 for a pound–it wouldn’t be worth fifty dollars.

You wouldn’t think, but this makes me think more fondly of most of the penis art. I mean, they they’re creepy and weird, but at least the penis art involves some skill and thought.

Hey! Just so happens I’ve got about twenty bottles of leftover – but still liquid – nail polish from my gothier days. I CAN MAKE BLACK & BLUE PASTA JEWELRY, TOO!
RCB- wouldn’t want to soggy up my sophisticated pasta durin the big race.
OK, that man…he’s about 4’3″ and well endowed. His name is Tyler and the teenagers discovered him in Wilma’s closet on Thanksgiving. He had on panties and was photographed. Made to Facebook. One niece said “it wouldn’t be a real Thanksgiving without an inflatable black man in my Aunt’s closet”
I don’t know if I could control myself if I saw someone wearing this. Would have to wind up that fuckin’ platypus so it flapped it’s tail on the stupid pasta necklace owner.
Kinda like a bitch slap. Plat slap?

#69 littykidder – fuckos never tire of attention- NEVER. They never ask for it either. They have to get it some other way due to NOBODY giving two fucks about them. Just a BIG PUSSY no one has ever liked.
B4 I sign off here, (I’m weary from the ass-ault & Hiddens not so hidden agenda), I vote for #41 Voxwomans idea for a ‘view it on a plate’.
All kinds of awesomesauce possibilities!
#62 bootsychoo – Aw, the sleeping child in your avatar is adorable. You know what I’m talking about – the sophistication level of the college kids who come to town (read: Bourbon St), and then go around wearing Mardi Gras beads in July.
This reminds me of when I was little and the neighbor kid and I would pick large rocks off the driveway, paint them with my mom’s acrylics and then sell them to the neighbors for 10¢ a pop.
If you pitched this off a float into a crowd during the height of Mardi Gras, people would part like the Red Sea.
Where the hell is one supposed to wear this??
OK, I think I can explain part of what happened here:
She was waiting for the water to boil for the pasta and decided to do her nails. However, upon opening the bottle, the intoxicating aroma became far too irresistible (she should have had the stove top fan on for better ventilation)and as a direct result confusion set in which later escalated into an influential madness.
I still can’t explain the platypus though. Sorry, my bad.
I love how the description in each says that it’s the “perfect fun yet strangely sophisticated necklace.”
Which one? They can’t both be perfect seeing as they are not the exact same. That’s just illogical. So…. which one is the “perfect fun yet strangely sophisticated necklace, and which one is the “NEAR perfect fun yet strangely sophisticated necklace?”
From her shop announcement: “Phaty Platy uses old toys, erasers, miniatures, and other findings to create wacky pieces of jewelry that yes, you CAN pull off.”
I think she has taken Obama’s “Yes we can” mantra in the wrong direction.
I sincerely hope this seller used cheap drugstore polish…I’d be livid if I found out she was wasting perfectly good O.P.I., Orly, China Glaze, Essie, and other polishes in a similar league to those.
I have a friend who is a retired teacher, and she used to do pasta art with her class, until one day she looked up during class and saw a mouse sitting on the bookshelf eating the pasta off a picture.
I don’t think jewelry should be made out of edible objects. Unless they’re candy necklaces that is.
Hehe, thanks Raz! *hug* I got the idea from that one crazy woman that spouted “kitty’s got claws”…the details are all fuzzy for me though…I have such a bad memory, lol.

definitely penne-ante jewelry.

Just a shame the rest of it looks like it’s mid-stream.
